Petal Pusher
I take advantage of slim spring pickings with syrup made with dried lavender and fresh rosemary. Refreshing with complex floral and citrus notes, you won’t have to push this cocktail on anyone.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 ounce (½ cup) fresh rosemary
- ¼ ounce (½ cup) dried lavender
- ½ ounce vodka
Instructions
For syrup, heat 1 cup granulated sugar with ½ cup water on low until sugar dissolves. Add 1 ounce (½ cup) fresh rosemary. After 5 minutes, add ¼ ounce (½ cup) dried lavender. Heat 3 minutes, remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Strain and stir in ½ ounce vodka.
Keep refrigerated in a glass jar 4–6 weeks.
