Enchanted Lavender Honey Gin Fizz
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Cocktail shaker
- Strainer
- Highball glasses
Ingredients
- 8 ounces gin
- 4 ounces fresh lemon juice
- 4 ounces water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons dried lavender buds
- 4 egg whites
- 12 ounces club soda
- Ice
- 4 lavender sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the water, honey, and dried lavender buds in a small saucepan. Heat over low until the honey melts, then remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain out the buds and cool the syrup.
- Add the gin, lemon juice, 4 ounces of the cooled lavender honey syrup, and the egg whites to a cocktail shaker. Shake hard for 30 seconds to build foam.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake again for 15 seconds to chill the mixture.
- Strain into four glasses filled with fresh ice. Top each with club soda and stir gently. Add a lavender sprig to each glass.
Notes
Make the syrup a day ahead and store it in the fridge so assembly is quick. If the foam seems thin, shake the egg white mixture an extra 10 seconds before adding ice. Swap the lavender sprigs for a few drops of butterfly pea extract if you want a deeper purple color without changing the taste.
