  • Bar spoon

Method
 

  1. Chill a highball glass with ice and set it aside.
  2. Add lemon juice, lavender syrup, and cold water to a cocktail shaker.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake for about 8 to 10 seconds until well chilled.
  4. Discard the ice from the glass and add fresh ice.

Notes

  • Do not overuse lavender syrup. Too much makes the drink taste soapy. Keep it subtle so the lemon stays in control.
  • Serve in a tall highball glass with ice to highlight its delicate lavender hue and refreshing citrus aroma.
