Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and lavender syrup. Add ice to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake Well

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lemon wheel and a few fresh lavender sprigs. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of edible gold flakes on top for an elegant touch.
