Well Vodka makes it last longer. Vodka acts like a preservative You could do water but make it is smaller batches so it doesn't go bad. Hope this helps!

As far as for a cooling mist- the vodka is alchohol and so will also contribute to the "cooling" since it evaporates faster than water.

Alee....that's what I thought---personally I prefer the lavender mist WITHOUT the Vodka!
I went ahead and made a BIG batch with less than half the amount of alcohol and the aroma is so much nicer with a bigger dilution.I pour my concoction into lovely cobalt blue misters...I think I have a photo on my blog.
Thank you Alee.
