Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
  • 4 ounces vodka
  • 2 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ounce triple sec or Cointreau
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices for garnish
  • Sugar for rimming glasses optional

Method
 

  1. Make the lavender simple syrup by combining water, sugar, and dried lavender in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, let steep for 10 minutes, then strain out the lavender.
  2. If desired, rim two martini glasses with sugar by running a lemon wedge around the rim and dipping in sugar.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add vodka, fresh lemon juice, triple sec, and 1 ounce of the lavender simple syrup.
  4. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled, then strain into the prepared glasses and garnish with fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices.
