Persephone

• 1/3 cup dried culinary lavender*
• 2/3 cup superfine sugar
• 8 ounces pure mango juice
• 8 ounces distilled or tap water
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 cup lavender crystals
• 2 ounces mango elixir
• 2 ounces pomegranate juice
• 2 ounces
• Ice
• 9 ounces soda water

1. In a food processor, process the lavender and sugar until fully combined, about 1 minute-the mixture will look like a fine powder. DO AHEAD:
2. In a small saucepan, bring the mango juice and distilled or tap water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half, 12 to 15 minutes. DO AHEAD:
3. Pour the lime juice onto a small plate and spread the lavender crystals on a second small plate. Dip the rim of a 12-ounce glass into the lime juice, then dip it into the lavender crystals to lightly coat. Repeat with a second 12-ounce glass.
4. Pour 1 ounce each of the mango elixir, pomegranate juice, and simple syrup into each prepared glass. Add ice and enough soda water to fill each glass.
