optional: sub sparkling water for champagne for a lighter cocktail
lavender simple syrup:
about 5-7 little fresh lavender flowers
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the ingredients for the lavender syrup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sugar dissolves. Stir as needed to keep the sugar from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Transfer to a glass jar and let chill in the fridge. Strain out the lavender after 30-60 minutes and continue to let it chill. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Mix all cocktail ingredients together & stir. Taste and adjust to your liking.
Notes
note: since the concentration of your lavender syrup may vary, I found that the best way to "measure" this was to pour just enough syrup until I could taste the floral note. (about 2 splashes)
