Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Hawthorne strainer
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Champagne flute or tall glass
  • Jigger or measuring tool
  • Bar spoon
  • Ice

Ingredients

  • 2 oz coconut rum
  • 1 oz lavender simple syrup
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2-3 oz prosecco or sparkling wine
  • Fresh lavender sprig for garnish
  • Ice cubes for shaking

For lavender simple syrup:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender

Instructions

  • Add coconut rum, lavender simple syrup, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  • Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Double strain into a chilled champagne flute or tall glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Top with prosecco or sparkling wine and stir gently with a bar spoon.
  • Garnish with a fresh lavender sprig.

To make lavender simple syrup:

  • Combine water and sugar in a small pot
  • Heat until sugar dissolves
  • Add dried lavender
  • Simmer for 5 minutes
  • Remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes
  • Strain and store in fridge for up to 2 weeks

Notes

The cocktail tastes best when served very cold with fresh ice.
Store leftover lavender syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with coconut water and use sparkling water instead of prosecco.
Fresh lime juice works better than bottled for a crisp flavor.
