Equipment
- 1 Cocktail Shaker
- 1 small saucepan
- 4 12 oz Cocktail Glasses
Ingredients
For The Honey Lemon Syrup
- 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
- 2/3 cup Wildflower Honey
For The Vodka Lemonade
- 8 oz Honey Lemon Syrup
- 3 tsp Culinary Lavender
- 4 Lemon Slices
- 4 oz Vodka
- 32 oz Plain Seltzer or Club Soda
- 0.7 oz Purple Food Coloring
Instructions
Making The Honey Lemon Syrup
- Add the honey & lemon juice into a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Stir until the honey has dissolved, and the moisture has evaporated and it becomes a syrup, about 5 minutes.
Making The Cocktails
- Allow the Honey Lemon Syrup to cool a little, then add the lavender & lemon slices and mix together and allow to sit so that the lavender buds can release their flavour.
- Strain and pour in the vodka (mixture should be completely cool, as heat burns alcohol off) and stir to combine. Add in the purple food coloring drop by drop until the mixture has a pleaseing purple color (deep or light, its your choice!).
- Measure out the mixture evenly between the 4 cocktail glasses with ice, (there should be one lemon slice per glass), top up with the seltzer water or club soda and serve.
