Lavender Rose Gin Fizz Cocktail Recipe
I make the Lavender Rose Gin Fizz when I want a refreshing, floral drink with a creamy foam.
Using simple tools and quality ingredients, the process is easy and gives great results.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker (with tight seal)
- Hawthorne strainer
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Jigger or small measuring cup
- Bar spoon
- Tall glass or Collins glass
- Small saucepan (for syrup)
- Small whisk or hand frother (for foam)
- Ice cubes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz gin choose a floral or classic style
- 3/4 oz lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 oz lavender simple syrup
- 1/2 oz rose syrup or rose water
- 1 oz club soda chilled
- 1 egg white for foam
- Dried lavender buds or rose petals for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Add gin, lemon juice, lavender syrup, rose syrup, and egg white to a shaker (no ice).
- Shake hard for 10-15 seconds (dry shake) to blend and boost foam.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again for 15 seconds (wet shake) to chill the mix.
- Strain mixture through a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer into a tall glass.
- Top with the chilled club soda, pouring gently down the side to keep the foam.
- Let the foam rise and use a spoon to help hold it at the top if needed.
- Garnish with a few dried lavender buds or rose petals. Serve right away.
Notes
When I make this cocktail, I use pasteurized egg whites for safety.
If you do not want to use eggs, use 2 tablespoons of aquafaba (liquid from chickpeas) instead of the egg white.
The syrups are easy to make at home with sugar, water, and either dried lavender or food-grade rose petals.
Adjust the amount of syrup if you want it sweeter or lighter.
For the best taste, I always serve the Gin Fizz immediately while the foam is fresh.
I store leftover syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks in a clean jar.
