Honey Lavender Cocktail

I grew lavender in my herb garden for the first time this year. This first year produced a very light harvest, yet I didn’t want to throw away this wonderful smelling herb. I did find this recipe for a honey lavender cocktail that might just happen to show up some evening…

Honey Rose
1 1/2 oz of Honeycomb-infused Smirnoff Vodka
1/4 oz Organic lavender syrup
1/4 oz Lemon juice

Shake all ingredients with ice. Serve up in a hand blown martini glass.

Honeycomb-Infused Vodka:1 Litre Smirnoff Vodka

8 oz Honeycomb (one round)
Let steep for 48 hours at room temperature or until all honey has dissolved. Strain.

Organic Lavender Syrup:

2 cups water
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Organic dried lavender

Let steep for 24 hours at room temperature. Strain into storage container. Keep refrigerated.

This recipe was created by Cameron Bogue, Smirnoff Vodka’s resident mixologist, and is inspired by his trip to Seattle’s Pike Place Market.
