Ok, I LIKE Taylor Swift and definitely have a few of her albums. BUT I would not consider myself a "Swiftie" BUT this drink is HEAVILY influenced as the very adult version of the Lavender Haze drink from Starbucks but I made it a cocktail 🙃.

And honestly I feel like the song "Gold Digger" by Ludacris should describe this drink because she's dangerous 😆. It seriously tastes like a sweet lavender dreams and you don't realize the side effects here. That said. I recommend ONE drink per person LOL. (Or moderate).

What is a French 75 Cocktail?

This beverage is a true classic. It's typical blend is gin, lemon juice, sugar, and champagne. It originated back to World War I in a bar in Paris (hence French) and the 75 came from that this combo had such a kick that it felt like a 75mm French Field Gun! It's also been featured in movies like Casablanca and A Man Betrayed.

I decided to add my own twist to this classic by making my own Lavender infused simple syrup and prosecco instead of champagne. I am not a big Champagne fan TBH... too many bubbles. But Prosecco has the right amount of sparkle for me.

What You'll Need to Make a Lavender French 75

• Gin - Specifically the Empress Gin for that COLOR

• Frozen Black Berries - For garnish and keeping your drink cold without diluting it

How to Make a Lavender French 75

Make the Lavender Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of organic cane sugar and 1 teaspoon dried edible lavender. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. This makes quite a bit so I will typically store the rest in a mason jar or airtight container and it keeps for about a month.

Grab a Shaker: To the shaker add ice, gin, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously.

Pour the Bubbly: To a chilled glass (I am OBSESSED with these glasses) pour the cocktail from the shaker and top with prosecco. Add frozen blackberries or blueberries if desired for garnish.

SALUTE!
