Martini's have become such a fun and versatile cocktail. I love being able to play around with different flavor combinations to find something that suits every palate.
One of my new interests are essential oils. I've been thinking of trying them holistically for some time now. I will have to say though. One of the things that I find exciting about them is that many can be ingested, therefore, used in recipes. It just opens up a entire other world to the possibility of fun uses!
Tonight I concocted this subtle and sophisticated rendition of the classic martini. The lavender has such a interesting and complex flavor your guest will be surprised when they ask what your secret ingredient is. A must have at your next dinner party or weekend brunch!
I have also been using the lavender simple syrup with my tea in the evening, and even a bit with my water at bedtime.
Lavender Lemon Martini
Make lavender simple syrup by combining 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and 1 droplet of Young Living Lavender oil. Simmer on medium until sugar is dissolved. About 15 minutes.
In the meantime coat the rim of your martini glass with simple syrup. Dip onto a plate that has been covered in 1/4 cup sugar. Coat rim of glass.
Using a cocktail shaker add 1 cup ice 3oz vanilla vodka, 3oz lavender simple syrup and 1oz sky vodka.
Shake until ice cold, and carefully pour into martini glass.
Enjoy this is a nice one!
