Don't underestimate the power of lavender in cocktails! This versatile herb can be muddled fresh for a subtle floral note, infused into syrups for sweetness, or even used in bitters for added complexity. While gin and vodka are known for their beautiful botanical synergy with lavender, we encourage you to experiment to discover a unique signature drink. Remember, though, that alcohol can sometimes mask or even amplify lavender's taste. Start with a light hand and adjust as you go to ensure your lavender creation is as delicious as it is delightful!
