Key Takeaways
If you’re not a fan of sugar, but want to try the lavender-latte craze, Torani Sugar Free Lavender Syrup is an inexpensive and solid choice (assuming you can handle the sucralose and artificial coloring). Easy to find, easy to store and can be used in hot or cold drinks.
If you’re more concerned with avoiding artificial sweeteners or artificial dyes than you are with price and availability, Torani’s Puremade Zero Sugar Lavender is the choice for you. In either case, begin with a light pour as lavender can be a flavour that’s easy to overpower.
What is Sugar Free Lavender Syrup?
Torani is a family owned flavoring company that has been producing flavored syrups since 1925, and lavender is one of its older flavors in the “floral” category. The sugar-free version replaces cane sugar with a combination of sucralose and acesulfame potassium, which means you can enjoy the herbal and slightly sweet lavender taste without the sugar or calories.
Up front, it should be noted that Torani actually sells two zero-sugar lavender syrups, and they are not the same product:
- Sugar Free Lavender Syrup (the classic sugar-free line) — sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium
- Puremade Zero Sugar Lavender Syrup — a newer line that is sweetened with erythritol, stevia leaf, and monk fruit extract.
This review is on the original Sugar Free Lavender Syrup as this is the one that is most commonly sold in stores and cafés, but the comparison table below highlights the differences between the two.

What’s the Flavor?
Lavender syrup is a delicate balance: add too much and a drink will taste like soap or perfume, add too little and no one will notice. Torani’s is more on the lighter, herbal side, not so much on the heavy floral perfume.
The initial taste is more like chamomile-sisterly herbal sweetness than any “eating a flower” taste. It is sweetened with sucralose rather than sugar so the mouthfeel is less rich than the regular Torani Lavender Syrup and there is a slight aftertaste of the artificial sweetener if a heavy pour is used.
It’s best to start with less than you think, about half a tablespoon per 12-ounce beverage, and work your way up.

How to Use it
Best Uses for Torani Sugar Free Lavender Syrup:
- Lavender latte: Combine with steamed milk and espresso; add a splash of vanilla syrup to round out the floral edge.
- Lavender lemonade: Stir into lemonade for a purple-tinted, low-sugar summer drink.
- Iced tea: Pairs especially well with black or green tea, and with citrus-flavored hot water for a calming, low-calorie sipper.
- Sodas and “dirty sodas”: A splash in sparkling water or cola-style sodas gives a floral twist without added sugar.
- Cocktails and mocktails: Works in a lavender lemon drop, a lavender collins, or a lavender spritz for a low-sugar alternative to simple syrup.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overpouring. Because it’s zero-calorie, it’s tempting to add more than you would with a regular syrup — but too much lavender flavor turns floral into soapy fast.
- Mixing up the two sugar-free versions. Double-check whether you’re buying the classic Sugar Free line or the Puremade Zero Sugar line, since the ingredients and sweeteners are different.
- Storing it wrong. Like other Torani syrups, keep the bottle sealed and away from direct heat once opened to preserve flavor.
