Lavender Cocktail
This Lavender Cocktail is the perfect drink for a hot
summer evening. It is cool
and refreshing, with a unique floral note.
To give the Lavender Cocktail a stronger kick, you can leave out
the limoncello and replace it with extra vodka, but I think the limoncello
adds a very nice depth of flavor.
Lavender Cocktail
2 oz club soda
1 oz Vodka
½ oz limoncello
½ oz Lavender simple syrup (see recipe below)
Pour the 2 ounces of club soda into a martini glass.
Combine the other ingredients in a martini shaker with ice and
shake until well chilled. Pour
over club soda and serve immediately.
Lavender simple syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cold water
2 tablespoons fresh or dried lavender flowers
To make the Lavender simple syrup, combine all of the
ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook
over medium high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Strain into a Tupperware and refrigerate until well chilled.
Try using any extra lavender simple syrup to sweeten
any of your favorite drinks or cocktails!
