Instructions
Prepare the Lavender Honey Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts honey and water (1 cup each). Add dried lavender flowers and heat over low until the honey dissolves. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Allow to cool.
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, fresh lemon juice, and lavender honey simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15-20 seconds.
Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass or coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist or a sprig of lavender.
