With the new year we’ve taken a little time out on the cocktails so I’ve been looking for some other mixed drinks to enjoy in the evenings. Finding a jar of dried lavender I decided to see what I could mix up and finally landed on this simple spritzer.
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp dried lavender
