This dish is special because...
This recipe is a personal favorite of mine, not just for its taste but also for its story. I discovered it while traveling through Provence, France, where the air was infused with the scent of lavender fields. It captures the essence of that summer in a glass, offering a refreshing and floral escape with every sip.
This cocktail is a delightful balance of sweet, floral, and tart flavors. The gin provides a juniper base, while the elderflower liqueur adds a touch of sweetness and floral notes. The lavender simple syrup shines through, offering a unique and delicate aroma and flavor. It's refreshing and light, perfect for sipping on a warm evening or enjoying as an after-dinner treat.
What I love most about this recipe is its simplicity and transportive quality. It requires just a few ingredients and minimal effort, yet it instantly takes me back to the lavender fields of Provence with its captivating aroma and taste. It's a reminder that even the simplest things can be magical and evoke powerful memories.
Tip: If you don't have lavender bitters, you can simply increase the amount of lavender simple syrup slightly. Remember, adjust the sweetness to your preference!
I hope you enjoy this taste of Provence in a glass!
