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.
Cheers! Elsie
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!
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.
