Ingredients

Lavender Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water 2 tablespoons dried lavender
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dried lavender culinary grade

Cucumber Juice

  • 1 cucumber peeled and roughly sliced
  • Splash of water

Cucumber-Lavender Gin Fizz

  • 2 ounces cucumber juice
  • 2 ounces London dry gin
  • 1 ounce lavender simple syrup
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 egg white
  • Ice
  • Splash of chilled club soda
  • Lemon twist for garnish, optional
  • Cucumber slice for garnish, optional

Instructions

Lavender Simple Syrup

  • In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar and lavender. Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer. Frequently stir to help dissolve sugar. Once the mixture simmers and the sugar dissolves, turn off heat, allow the lavender to steep for at least 30 minutes and strain.

Cucumber Juice

  • Place cucumber slices and water in a blender and process until smooth. Place a bowl under a cheese cloth- or paper towel-lined fine-mesh sieve and pour the cucumber puree into the sieve. You will use the juice that drips into the bowl. Alternatively, you can use a juicer.

Cucumber-Lavender Gin Fizz

  • In a cocktail shaker, add the cucumber juice, gin, lavender simple syrup, egg white and lemon juice. Shake for 30 seconds. Add a handful of ice and shake vigorously until you no longer hear the ice clink against the cocktail shaker.
  • Pour into a chilled Collins glass and top with club soda. Garnish with a lemon twist and additional cucumber slices if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • In a pinch, you can let the lavender steep for less than 30 minutes, but you'll get a strong lavender flavor if you give it more time.
  • The cucumber juice can be made ahead of time and freezes well.
