- Add to Shaker: In a cocktail shaker, pour in the lavender rich syrup, lavender extract, vodka, lemon juice, and triple sec. Make sure to measure accurately to maintain the intended flavor profile.
- Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes. This is important as it not only chills the mixture but also dilutes it slightly, helping to create a smoother drink.
- Shake Well: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This action mixes the ingredients thoroughly and incorporates air, resulting in a light and refreshing cocktail.
- Strain and Serve: After shaking, use a cocktail strainer to pour the mixture into your chilled glasses, ensuring a smooth and frothy finish.

Just got my order and didn’t waste a minute…the lavender lemon drop martini is delicious! The brownies are in the oven. The finger licking taste test was good…can hardly wait for the buzzer.
