We love Lavender-Infused Gin for our summertime cocktails and use it to liven-up our gimlets and martinis. It provides pleasant lavender notes without overpowering the botanicals of the gin. And it’s easy to make! Simply put the lavender and the gin together and it basically makes itself. The amount of lavender we call for will not look like enough as you drop it in your jar. Relax! Don’t be tempted to add more. All will be fine. We made this, specifically, to use in the Lavender Hound, but check back often as we’ll be working to create other cocktails for it as well. Cheers!
