Notes
Lavender Syrup Tip: Use homemade or Torani lavender syrup for best results.
No Bitters? You can skip the bitters if unavailable, but they enhance the floral depth.
Glassware: A chilled coupe or martini glass works beautifully.
Make It a Mocktail: Swap vodka and liqueur for lemonade and a dash of sparkling water.
