Method

Cocktail Base

Measure and combine

Add 2 oz lavender gin, 0.75 oz St-Germain, 0.5 oz Aperol, and 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice (enough to three-quarters fill). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.

Assemble & Serve

Prepare glass

Fill a Collins glass or a large coupe with fresh ice if desired (Collins for a longer, soda-forward serve; coupe for a shorter, stirred variant). If using a Collins, fill with ice cubes. If using a coupe, skip the ice in the glass.

Strain

Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass (over ice for Collins, into the chilled coupe for short serve). This removes small ice shards and any pulp.

Top with soda

Gently top the drink with about 2.5 oz chilled soda water. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve effervescence and create a light blush separation.

Garnish and finish

Express an orange twist over the surface by holding the twist skin-side down over the drink and giving it a sharp squeeze to release oils; rub the rim with the peel and drop it into the glass. Optionally, add a small sprig of lavender for aroma. Serve immediately.
