Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 6 sprigs of lavender
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 4 oz vodka, chilled
• Sugar for rimming
• Additional lavender sprigs
• Lemon slices, halved

Directions

• Combine the sugar and water in a pot on the stove and bring to a boil; cook only until the sugar is dissolved. Add lavender sprigs and allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally.
• Rim the edge of two martini glasses with a lemon slice and dip the edge into sugar (I like cake decorating sugar with larger crystals)
• Strain the lavender simple syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and add the lemon juice and vodka. Shake until VERY cold.
• Pour the lemonade/vodka mixture through a strainer into a cocktail glass. I prefer it without ice but if you prefer, put some crushed ice into the glass first.
• Garnish with lavender sprigs and lemon slices.
