Sounds wonderful. How much gin?
2 ounces gin. Apologies for that omission —it should show up in the ingredients list now.
I've been making something similar to this, a riff on the standard Gin & Tonic, with Empress 1908 gin. This gin's purple from the butterfly pea flower and can turn pretty shades of pink too depending on the additions to the drink. Easier, prettier, tastier and more practical than trying to find uses for the remainder of the Violette bottle. Just sub the gin here for Empress and skip the Violette. Enjoy!
Lovely. Can’t always find find fresh lavender, so sometimes we’ve muddled a little bit of dried lavender instead.
Where do people get fresh lavender?
I grow it in my garden. It lives quite well with neglect. I have French lavender, but you can grow English easily, too. I've also seen it at Whole Foods in the floral section.
