Lavender Basil Garden Cocktail

Recipe by Amanda Moser

Ingredients

• 2 oz. gin or vodka (we recommend High Five Spirts’ Petoskey Stone Gin, available for purchase at our gift shop)
• 1 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 oz. Lavender Simple Syrup
• Splash of champagne or sparkling wine (we recommend L. Mawby’s Melissa sparkling wine, available for purchase at our gift shop)
• 5-7 fresh basil leaves

Directions

1. Add fresh basil and gin to a cocktail shaker and shake gently. You don’t want to destroy the leaves, just shake enough to release their oils.
2. Add lemon juice and Lavender Simple Syrup to cocktail shaker and shake for 15-20 seconds.
3. Pour into a glass and add ice cubes and a splash of champagne or sparkling wine.
4. Garnish with a sprig of lavender and enjoy!
