I had to think of at least one more way to use the lavender simple syrup that I just made. This is my favorite martini I’ve ever made, so if you made the lavender syrup last week, I highly recommend this recipe! It’s tart, sweet and lightly floral.
Lavender Citrus Martini, serves one
1 Lemon
1 Orange
Gin
St-Germain
Lavender Simple Syrup (recipe here)
Sugar
In a shaker, combine 2 ounces Gin, 2 ounces St-Germain, 1 ounce simple syrup and the juice of one lemon and one orange. Rim a glass with lavender simple syrup and sugar. Use the peel of an orange for a curly garnish. Shake, pour and serve.

Hi Nadia,
I’ve never had that problem. Sorry I can’t help with that one.

Hi!
Just wondering if you ever have problems with your cocktail shaker not opening. I have a metal one that gets stuck after I shake it and looking on the web I found that a lot of people have that problem
Thanks!
If using ice, it is important to have the ice mostly filled within the shaker a few moments before you actually put in the other ingredients. The more time you give it to chill the air within, the less likely the lid will get “jammed” due to the negative air pressure that is created during the shaking process. (air cools down and contracts if it is warmer than the contents before the shaking starts)
The other less likely issue is cold welding. typically occurs when you use twisting action on two well polished metals of the same type, so do not “twist” your lids . This is something used by a certain measurement tool.
Mmm looks lovely and simple too 🙂

Awe- thank you Sandi. It’s my first one!!
I love it when mixed with something stronger (like Gin or Whiskey) but if you like sweeter drinks a lot of people enjoy it with Champagne.
Enjoy!!! elsie
Eeek! That’s so sweet Sara!

A gin martini is definitely my favorite! Thanks for a great way to start the weekend. I’ll need it. It will be hot here in Los Angeles.
