Ingredients 

  • 60 ml 2oz gin (choose a soft, herbal kind, I used Citadelle gin)
  • 7 ml 1/4oz Monin lavender syrup
  • 200 ml 6-7oz J.Gasco Sodarosa or Rose Lemonade by Fentimans (I've tried it with both)
  • 7 ml 1/4oz rose petal water
  • 7 ml 1/4oz fresh lemon juice
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh mint use a softer-flavored kind, I used strawberry mint
  • ¼ tsp dry flower petals I used a flower tea mix
  • optional - decorate with a fresh flower
  • ice

Instructions

  • Add the dry flowers mix at the bottom of a cocktail glass or wine glass, then fill it with ice.
  • In a mixing glass, add the fresh mint leaves, rose water, and gin. Use a muddler and start mashing the leaves in order to release the aromatic oils.
  • Use a strainer and strain everything over the ice and into the glass.
  • Drizzle the lavender syrup on top.
  • Add the soft drink over.
  • Decorate with a sprig of fresh mint and a fresh flower.
  • Use a straw for this cocktail and make sure you mix it before drinking. The lavender syrup will go to the bottom, creating a lovely gradient effect.
