Are you up for a purple cocktail? If yes, you need to try this lavender Collins recipe. It’s not only tasty, but also pretty to look at.
Ingredients
This is a gin cocktail which is made with the following ingredients:
2 oz gin
3 cups boiling water
6 oz Collins mix
2 maraschino cherries
1 cup ice cubes
12 lavender flowers
Instructions
The first step in preparing the lavender Collins is to get an ice cube tray. Fill it with the lavender flowers and add boiling water over them. When you’re done, store the ice cube tray in the fridge for 15 minutes.
During that time, the water will cool down. Once the time is up, put the tray in the freezer. Wait for 3 hours before you take it out.
You can serve this cocktail in any kind of glass you like, but the preferred type is a tall one.
Add the ice in it. Now include the gin and the Collins mix as well. The last step is to add the lavender ice cubes.
Use the maraschino cherries to decorate the glass. If you have extra lavender flowers, use them to decorate as well. The recipe is meant for one serving. If you want to make two, double the ingredients.
