Lavender gin fizz

Serves: 1

Total Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

LAVENDER SYRUP
420g sugar
500ml (2 cups) water
6 lavender flowers
TO SERVE
50ml lavender syrup (from above)
50ml gin
25ml (5 tsp) fresh lemon juice
ice
soda water
lavender sprigs, to garnish
cucumber slice, to garnish

Instructions

For the lavender syrup, boil the sugar and water over high heat, until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the lavender flowers. Set aside to infuse, 30 minutes. Strain, bottle and keep chilled. The syrup will last in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Pour the lavender syrup, gin and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well to chill the drink. Pour into a glass and top up with soda water to taste. Serve with a sprig or 2 of lavender and garnish with a cucumber slice.
