I had to think of at least one more way to use the lavender simple syrup that I just made. This is my favorite martini I've ever made, so if you made the lavender syrup last week, I highly recommend this recipe! It's tart, sweet and lightly floral.
Lavender Citrus Martini, serves one
1 Lemon
1 Orange
Gin
St-Germain
Lavender Simple Syrup (recipe here)
Sugar
In a shaker, combine 2 ounces Gin, 2 ounces St-Germain, 1 ounce simple syrup and the juice of one lemon and one orange. Rim a glass with lavender simple syrup and sugar. Use the peel of an orange for a curly garnish. Shake, pour and serve.

Yum, totally going to try this tonight π Love your blog x
I’m not the biggest fan of lavender, but I love citrus and martinis, so I may have to try this. Well, it would be a vodka version π

OK, now I want one and it’s only noon here in New York! Yikes!
Happy weekend!
That may be the most perfect orange garnish slice I’ve seen in years π
Ok, that St-Germain alcohol sounds like a miracle liquid. You’ve finally convinced me to go out and buy some today. π – Leith

I’ll definitely be trying! I want to become more of an adult and slowly collect liquors. I’m bookmarking all of these mixed drinks for when that time comes!

A gin martini is definitely my favorite! Thanks for a great way to start the weekend. I’ll need it. It will be hot here in Los Angeles.

I cant wait to finish work and start my happy hour!! Love this recipe thanks for sharing π
Eeek! That’s so sweet Sara!
I love it when mixed with something stronger (like Gin or Whiskey) but if you like sweeter drinks a lot of people enjoy it with Champagne.
Enjoy!!! elsie

Hi!
Just wondering if you ever have problems with your cocktail shaker not opening. I have a metal one that gets stuck after I shake it and looking on the web I found that a lot of people have that problem
Thanks!
Hi Nadia,
I’ve never had that problem. Sorry I can’t help with that one.
