Lavender Lemon Drop

Chef: Jason Collis
Serves: 6 drinks

Ingredients:

4 quarts of water
8 cups of raw sugar
12 sprigs of lavender
3 oz. Ventura Limoncello
3 oz. Absolut Citron Vodka

Directions:

1. Add your water to a medium size stock pot, add your lavender sprigs and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce the heat and allow the lavender sprigs to steep in the liquid. White foam will float on top of your lavender water; discard the foam by skimming the foam off the top with a kitchen spoon.

3. Strain the lavender water through a colander and put the liquid back into the pot and add your sugar and bring to a boil.

4. Once the sugar has dissolved add your lemon juice and cool rapidly.

5. Add limoncello and vodka.

6. Chill your lavender lemonade and serve with a lemon wheel and lavender blossom.
