Syrup recipe from Martha Stewart + Drink recipe from Food & Wine
In preparation for Sunday’s HTC10 gathering, I wanted to share a few treats from our 2006 book launch starting with the lavender-infused TranquilTini.
For a mocktail, replace the vodka with sparkling water and a dash of vanilla extract.
Lavender syrup Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon dried lavender
Directions:
Bring to a boil water, sugar and lavender, stirring occasionally. Once at a boil, bring to a simmer for 2 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve and let cool. Will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator if well-sealed.
TranquilTini Ingredients:
Ice
1 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/4 ounce Lavender Syrup
1 fresh lavender sprig
Directions:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, lemon juice and Lavender Syrup and shake well. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the lavender sprig.
