This Lemon Gin Spritz Cocktail always turns out to be a favorite among guests, so be sure to make plenty of it. Here’s the recipe:

Make the simple syrup. Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the lavender. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lavender. Steep for 5 minutes. Strain and discard the lavender. Allow to cool completely.
Whisk the other ingredients. Add the butterfly pea powder and cold water to a jar and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Make the cocktail. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the lemonade, gin and 4 tablespoons of lavender simple syrup. Shake for 30 seconds.
Pour. Pour into glasses filled with ice.
Garnish. Top with a splash or two of sparkling water. Carefully add 3-4 teaspoons of butterfly pea mixture to each glass and serve.
Decorate. Decorate with fresh lavender and lemon and serve.

Why Is My Lavender Lemon Gin Spritz Cocktail Foamy?

If you’ve ever made a cocktail at home, you may have noticed that it sometimes becomes foamy.

If you shake or stir your cocktail too vigorously, you’ll introduce too much air into the mixture, which is what creates the foam. Additionally, if your ingredients contain ingredients like milk, cream, or egg whites, these will also cause your cocktail to foam.

If it bothers you, you can simply skim off the top and remove the foam with a spoon. You can also leave it as is and just embrace the foamy top.

Can I Use Flavored Gin for This Lavender Lemon Gin Spritz Cocktail?

Definitely! Some brands do flavored gin, although you may have to do some trial and error to ensure that you’re getting the flavors just right. Also, some types of plain gin already have faint notes of lavender in it, so adding the dried lavender can gently bring out the gin’s natural flavors.

Of course, if you want a stronger flavor, you can use whatever type of gin you want, flavored or otherwise.
