Sweet & Tangy

This delightful adult drink combines the flavors of tangy grapefruit and romantic lavender. In other words, a match made in cocktail heaven.

Although, there is no need to fret if you don’t have a fresh grapefruit- orange or lemon will also work.

Homemade Lavender Ice Cubes

If you are a fan of fancy cocktails, this one’s for you. This gin cocktail includes a lavender infused ice cube that cools the drink while also adding an intoxicating floral scent and additional sweetness.

To add a really gourmet touch, we recommend using a globe ice tray although a traditional ice tray can also be used. Just be sure to make your lavender ice cubes a day in advance to ensure that they are fully frozen.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Gin – The herbal and complex flavor in gin is a great base to build on for this fun drink.
Lavender Syrup – Aeromatic and sweet, this syrup is the star of this drink.
Grapefruit Juice – Citrus combines with the floral notes of the syrup for an amazing final result.
Orange Bitters – Strong and fresh this little ingredient really packs a punch and complements the gin perfectly.

FAQ & Lavender-Grapefruit Gin Cocktail Tips:

Do you have to include the lavender ice cube?
- Nope. However, the ice cube contains lavender syrup so it adds both flavor and sweetness to the cocktail as it melts. Therefore, if you leave it out, we recommend adding additional syrup to the drink.

Can you substitute the grapefruit for another citrus fruit? 🍊
- Absolutely! This cocktail would also be delicious with orange, lemon, or any other citrus juice.

Tip: Adjust the level of sweetness.
- Not the biggest fan of sweet drinks? Reduce or leave out the extra lavender syrup in the cocktail itself for a drink with a little more tartness.
Tip: Mix It Up
- Try using vodka to replace the gin or you could even try champagne, either would certainly work and taste divine!
