Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Citrus juicer
  • Small saucepan
  • Bar spoon or stirrer
  • Rocks glass or coupe glass
  • Ice cubes

Ingredients

  • 2 oz tequila blanco crisp and smooth
  • 1 oz lemon juice fresh
  • 0.75 oz lavender syrup homemade or store-bought
  • 0.5 oz triple sec or orange liqueur
  • ice cubes for shaking and serving
  • lemon wheel or lavender sprig for garnish
  • salt or sugar for optional rim

Instructions

  • If desired, rim a rocks or coupe glass with salt or sugar and set aside.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice.
  • Add tequila blanco, fresh lemon juice, lavender syrup, and triple sec (or orange liqueur).
  • Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.

Notes

Use tequila blanco for a clean profile; swap in reposado for a warmer, vanilla note. Fresh lemon juice is essential. Make lavender syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water with culinary lavender, then straining and chilling.
