Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau)
- 0.5 oz Lime juice
- 1 oz Cranberry juice
- 0.5 oz Lavender simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 pinch Dried lavender (optional garnish)
- 1 slice Lime wheel (optional garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the lavender simple syrup by combining 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, let cool, and strain to remove the lavender.
Chill your martini or coupe glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water.
In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, orange liqueur, lime juice, cranberry juice, and lavender simple syrup.
Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold to the touch.
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass, if used, and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.
Garnish with a lime wheel and a small pinch of dried lavender, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant Lavender Cosmopolitan.
