Lavender Basil Garden Cocktail
The perfect garden-to-glass experience!
This refreshing summer cocktail blends the herbal notes of fresh basil with the floral sweetness of lavender and a citrusy kick of lemon.

- 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
- 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.

- Garnish with a sprig of lavender and enjoy!
