Notes

  1. You can also make your own lavender syrup using culinary-grade lavender and following this simple recipe.
  2. This Agroposta lavender syrup is my absolute favorite and the one I used for this recipe. They ship to several countries in the EU.
  3. A little lavender syrup goes a long way. If in doubt, rather add less than more.
  4. I use Hendrick's gin for this recipe.
  5. To make this cocktail for a crowd, add the blackberries, lemon juice, lavender syrup and gin to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and strain out the blackberry seeds if desired. Transfer the mixture into a cocktail pitcher and set it in the refrigerator to cool. Top it with sparkling water right before serving.
