Ooh la la! We’re going French with a lavender twist for a cocktail that’s sure to be a hit at the next girls’ night. Or, if you’re like me….every night at 5pm.
The Lavender French 75 is so fresh and yum. However, you must use a high quality lavender syrup to really experience the true amazingness of this drink. Not the terrible sugary mess with lavender flavor that most bars have on hand. Make it at home with this Portland Syrup and you won’t be disappointed. I’ve tried about 3 other lavender syrups and this is still my fave for authentic lavender flavor.
Pour the following over ice:
3/4 oz lavender syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
1.5 oz Empress 1908 Indigo Gin
Shake and pour. Top with about 1 oz Asti.
Tweak as needed.
I purchase the Portland syrup in a 2pk on Amazon for best savings because it arrives monthly and that’s barely often enough. And honestly, I don’t wait ’til 5pm. This girl’s workday is done at 4. 😉
Get your syrup now so it’s here by the weekend and you can practice! Let me know how you modify it to make it your fave!
