Floral and Fruity: The Refreshing Taste of Summer with the Lavender French 75
Welcome to our cocktail of the month. Whether you're a seasoned bartender or just a seasoned drinker, I wanted to introduce you to my favorite cocktail recipes that are easy to make with a mouthwatering taste.
Meet the Drink
It's Pride Month, baby! I knew I had to celebrate with a colorful cocktail so this one goes out to my lavender oat milk latte bisexuals and the gays who played "Lavender Haze" by Taylor Swift on repeat in 2022. The Lavender French 75 is a delightful twist on the classic French 75 cocktail, infusing a floral elegance into the traditional mix. This refreshing drink combines gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup with a touch of lavender syrup for a fragrant and slightly sweet flavor profile. Topped with champagne, this cocktail is the perfect refreshing summer drink!
