Oaky's Tavern's Lavender Blueberry Sparkling Lemonade

Bottoms Up
Aug. 31, 2024

Fall may be on the horizon, but until Sept. 22 comes, we’re going to be savoring our favorite summer drinks. (At which point we’ll happily switch gears for PSL season.) That means we’re still perusing the selections from the mocktails list on the Oaky’s Tavern menu, with the Lavender Blueberry Sparkling Lemonade ($6) getting our top pick. Served in a mason jar, this pale purple sip is perfectly refreshing, with a mix of tart lemonade, fresh blueberries, lavender syrup, and sparkling water to top it all off. Pair it with one of Oaky’s famous burgers, or go healthy with their hearty take on the Spinach Salad with blackened teriyaki salmon, almonds, feta cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette. Enjoy a glass on the patio at 9205 US-31 in Grawn, just down the road from Interlochen Center for the Arts. oakystavern.com
