1
Combine ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine 60 ml water, 60 ml granulated sugar, and 2 tsp dried culinary lavender. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
2
Steep and strain
Remove from heat and let the lavender steep for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container. Cool completely and refrigerate.

3
Prepare shaker and glass
Chill a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for about 5 minutes and set it aside.
4
Shake the cocktail
In a shaker filled with ice, combine gin (45 ml), lemon juice (15 ml), and lavender syrup (15 ml). Shake vigorously until well chilled.
5
Assemble and top
Strain the mixture into the chilled glass over fresh ice. Top with sparkling water (60 ml).

This Flower Child cocktail yields a floral, citrus-forward drink. It pairs well with light cheeses, citrus-based desserts, or delicate smoked salmon canapés.
