    • Suitable for multiple diet types: Because this recipe is made with a sugar free lavender syrup recipe, there is no added sugar! All the ingredients are naturally gluten free. If you aren't watching sugar however, feel free to use regular sugar in the homemade simple syrup.
    • Quick & easy: If you prepare the simple syrup in advance, this drink is ready in under 5 minutes!

    ✏️Ingredient Notes

    Here is a list of ingredients, you can see the recipe card for quantities.

    • Fresh lemon juice
    • Homemade lavender syrup - Can be made up to 30 days in advance.
    • Botanical gin - Our favorite gin is Empress 1908 gin. It's delicious, and the color works perfectly for this lavender drink. Empress has a distinct flavor and is distilled with butterfly pea blossom, Fairmont Empress tea, juniper, grapefruit peel, coriander seed, cinnamon bark, rose petal, and ginger root.
    • Raw egg whites - Use high quality eggs, wash them off, make sure they aren't cracked, and keep them very cold until time to use.
    • Culinary lavender buds or lavender sprigs - Optional, to decorate your cocktail! You can use fresh lavender in the summertime when it is available.

    📖Instructions

    Pour lemon juice into the bottom of a cocktail shaker with no ice.

    ✨Substitutions

    If you follow a different diet type, don't worry! We have a few suggestions.

    • Vegan - Swap the egg white for 2 tablespoons of aquafaba, which is the liquid from canned chickpeas.
    • Traditional version - You can simply make your lavender simple syrup with regular sugar instead of allulose sweetener.

    💭Variations

    Here are a few ways to alter the drink.

    • No Empress gin? Just use your gin of choice.
    • Make it a lavender collins - Ever had a tom collins? The flavor is similar, but you will skip the egg white, and top with club soda instead.

    ✨Tips, tricks & additions

    Here are a few things to note for making this cocktail turn out the best it can.

    • If you're nervous about consuming raw eggs, we'd recommend taking a look at this great guide for more information on consuming them safely. Our tips are to use the highest quality eggs you can find, wash them off, and keep them really cold before consuming. You don't want them to come to room temperature as this will breed more bacteria.
    • If you're enjoying this nice summery cocktail when it's nice and warm out, add some fresh herb sprigs like fresh lavender, basil, or thyme!
    • Want a more complex lavender flavor? Add a dash of lavender bitters!
