    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    Vodka
    2 cups water
    1 cup sugar
    1 Tbsp. fresh or dried lavender buds
    1½ cups fresh squeezed lemon juice (8–12 lemons, depending on the size and juice content)
    Ice
    Fresh lavender sprigs (optional)
    1 lemon, thinly sliced (optional)
    1 pint fresh berries, such as blueberries or raspberries
    Chilled Sparkling wine or champagne

    Recipe



    Place an open bottle of vodka in freezer for at least 2 hours or until very cold and syrup-like. Chill 10 to 12 tall glasses, if desired.

    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine water, sugar, and lavender buds. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Cool rapidly by placing pan in a basin of iced water. Add lemon juice to cooled syrup. Strain to remove lavender; discard lavender.

    Fill each chilled tall glass with ice and add 1 shot (3 tablespoons) of the cold vodka. Fill each glass about three-fourths full with lemonade syrup. Add lavender sprigs and lemon slices, if desired, and a few berries to each glass. Top each with sparkling wine. Stir or leave as is to sip the layers. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
