Lavender Gin Cocktail

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

This Lavender Gin Cocktail is made with Empress 1908 gin and lemon juice which gives it its beautiful pink color. It's simple, easy, and refreshing!

  • Yield1 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Handful of ice
  • 2 oz Empress 1908 gin*
  • 1 oz lavender syrup
  • 1-2 dashes lavender bitters
  • Sparkling water
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Lemon slice for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add gin, lavender syrup, and lavender bitters to a cocktail shaker.
  2. Add a handful of ice.
  3. Shake the cocktail vigorously for a few seconds until very cool to touch.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the cocktail over the ice.
  5. Top up the drink with sparkling water but leave 1-2 inches of room.
  6. Slowly pour the lemon juice on top and garnish with a lemon slice.
  7. Serve with a straw and stir to mix everything before enjoying. The cocktail will slowly turn purple and pink as it mixes.

Notes

*Empress 1908 gin has a bright blue color that turns purple and pink when acid is added (lemon juice). If you don’t have it, you can use your favorite gin and a small pinch of butterfly pea flower powder to achieve the same effect.
