Ingredients
Cocktail
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz lavender syrup
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- ¼ oz orange liqueur
- 2 dashes lavender bitters
Garnish
- Sugar for rimming the glass
- Lemon twist
- Sprig of lavender
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Spread sugar on a small plate. Rub the rim of a martini glass with a lemon wedge, then dip it into the sugar to coat the rim evenly. Set the glass aside while you prepare the cocktail.
- Combine Ingredients: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, orange liqueur, and lavender bitters into the shaker.
- Shake the Cocktail: Shake well vigorously until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and cold, ensuring the ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared sugar-rimmed martini glass to present a clean, smooth cocktail.
- Garnish: Garnish with a lemon twist and a sprig of lavender for a beautiful and aromatic finish.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best citrus flavor and brightness.
- If lavender syrup is unavailable, you can make your own by simmering water, sugar, and dried lavender buds, then straining.
- Chill the martini glass in the freezer beforehand for an extra refreshingly cold drink.
- Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of lavender syrup according to taste.
- Lavender bitters can be substituted with orange or floral bitters if unavailable, but the flavor profile will vary slightly.
