- 1/2 ounce (15 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce (15 milliliters) triple sec or orange liqueur
Liquid Enhancers:
- Ice cubes
Garnish:

Instructions
- Craft a silky lavender simple syrup by gently simmering water, sugar, and dried lavender flowers until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Allow the lavender syrup to cool and strain out the flower fragments, creating a fragrant infusion.
- Chill a sophisticated martini glass in the freezer to ensure an impeccably crisp cocktail experience.
- Load a cocktail shaker with a generous handful of crystalline ice cubes.
- Pour the smooth vodka, aromatic lavender syrup, bright lemon juice, and citrusy triple sec into the shaker.
- Seal the shaker tightly and execute a passionate, rhythmic shake for approximately 15-20 seconds, transforming the liquid into a frosty, harmonious blend.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over the chilled martini glass to ensure a velvety, smooth pour.
- Delicately slide a fresh lavender sprig or elegantly twisted lemon peel alongside the glass rim, creating a visually stunning and fragrant garnish that elevates the cocktail’s sensory appeal.
Notes
- Infuse lavender syrup a day ahead for deeper, more robust flavor that elevates the cocktail’s aromatic profile.
- Use high-quality vodka to ensure a smooth, clean base that complements the delicate lavender notes.
- Adjust sweetness by varying lavender syrup quantity – less for a drier martini, more for a sweeter experience.
- Swap vodka with gin for an herbal twist that enhances the lavender’s botanical essence.
