Lavender Gin Sour
This simple sour drink follows the classic sour recipe of 2 parts spirit to 1 part each citrus and sweet. The sweet lavender, tart lemon and aromatic gin complement each other beautifully on your nose...
This upscale lavender sugar not only makes for a delicious rim on a cocktail but you also can sprinkle it on desserts, fresh fruit or cakes.
Ingredients
- 2 heaping tablespoons of dried lavender buds (Some health, herb or tea shops carry dried lavender flowers. You can also buy fresh lavender at many farmers' markets: Remove the flowers and dry them yourself on a baking sheet.)
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
Instructions
Place lavender buds and 1/4 cup of sugar into a food processor and grind until blended and powdery. Mix with remaining sugar and store in an airtight container.
