Sastojci

2 oz gin (you can choose a good-quality gin that complements floral flavors)

3/4 oz lemon juice (using fresh is better)

1/2 oz lavender syrup

1 egg white (Optional, for that silky texture and frothy top)

lavender sprigs and lemon twist (for garnish)

Upute

Prep:

If you haven't already, prepare your lavender simple syrup ahead of time. It involves boiling equal parts water and sugar with a tablespoon of dried lavender for about 5 minutes, then cooling and straining it.

Combine Ingredients:

In a shaker, combine the gin, fresh lemon juice, lavender simple syrup, and egg white (if using). The egg white is not for flavor but adds a luxurious texture and froth to the drink.

Dry Shake:

First, shake the mixture without ice vigorously. This is called a dry shake, and it's essential for emulsifying the egg white and getting that beautiful foam.

Wet Shake:

Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously. This cools the drink and further builds the foam.

Strain and Serve:

Strain the mixture into a chilled glass. If you've used egg white, you might want to use a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth pour.

Garnish:

Finish by garnishing with a sprig of lavender or a lemon twist to enhance the drink's aroma and visual appeal.
