    Lemon Lavender Gin Fizz

    July 6, 2015

    Lemon Lavender Gin Fizz | The Charming Detroiter

    If there is one thing that signifies the beginning of an incredible summer, it’s a beautifully stocked and vibrantly growing herb garden. This is the third summer I have grown one now, but this summer’s is the best yet! I’ve got everything from the usual basil, chives, oregano, cilantro, and parsley to some more unique things this year, such as purple basil and lemon thyme. One addition that I am super excited to have started growing this year is lavender.

    Lemon Lavender Gin Fizz: A refreshing cocktail featuring homemade lavender simple syrup paired with lemon juice and gin.

    The lavender syrup isn’t naturally colored, but a couple drops of food coloring gel give it a beautifully deep purple color that allows for a hint of violet in the final product.

    Not only does it add to the lovely fresh fragrance on our deck, but it is also a beautifully subtle addition to cocktails, ice creams, and other dishes. I can’t wait to try some of the lavender in an ice cream, but for now, I’ve created this beautifully refreshing summer lavender cocktail.

    Gin is my jam, and a gin fizz is the perfect craft cocktail for the summer! In this version, the crispness of gin is paired with floral notes of lavender and tart, fresh lemon juice.

    Topping it off with some fizzy club soda makes this a deliciously cooling cocktail for the summer!
