How To Make Lavender Liqueur! || Aviation Cocktail!

Lavender Liqueur is pretty easy and delicious! I got this recipe from The Wee Pearl, a YouTube channel which is pretty awesome (   • The Manicured Nail | Floral Tea-Smoke...  ). I don't have any creme de Violette so this is a great substitute. If you have lavender growing in your yard like I do, this is a fun option for using it.

For the liqueur
I did 3Tbs of fresh lavender flowers but you could do dried if you wanted.
3 Butterfly Pea Flowers
1 cup of Vodka
Let that infuse overnight

add 1/2 cup sugar.
I boiled some more lavender in water to make a lavender simple syrup. which I added to the vodka. this dilutes the liqueur a bit which is fine because I started with 100 proof vodka.

Aviation:
2 oz Gin
.5 oz Lemon
.5 oz Lavender Liqueur
.25 oz Maraschino
Stir or shake, serve in a coupe with a cherry.


Cheers!
