Lavender Lemonade Cocktail with Mandarin Oranges

Overview


 

The great thing about this gorgeous drink is that it’s great year-round. Flavored with our floral lavender honey and two types of citrus, it’s perfect for a sunny afternoon or a festive holiday gathering.    

Instructions


1. Wash Up!

2. Muddle: Muddle the mint in a large measuring cup with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon.

3. Finish the lemonade: Add the lemon juice, water, and honey, stirring and muddling until the honey dissolves. Strain the mixture into a serving pitcher, if desired. Stir in the gin and mandarin orange juice.

To Serve: Divide the lavender ice cubes between serving glasses. Top with the lemonade and garnish with mint and mandarin orange segments.

Pro Tip: To make the lavender ice cubes, press fresh or dried lavender (lavender flowers with stems) into ice stick molds. Pour water over the lavender and freeze.

Table Talk:  What’s a fashion trend that’s made a reappearance that maybe should have stayed in the past?
