Notes

*You can use any gin with botanical notes. Your cocktail will not have the purple color but it will still taste delicious. The addition of lemon juice or lime juice to Empress Gin starts turning it a lovely shade of deep pink, this adds to its magic.
** There is a myriad of premade lavender syrups that you can order on Amazon.
*** Edible flowers pictured are for decorating purposes only and are not edible.
