Instructions
Make The Lavender Simple Syrup: Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce to a simmer. Add the raspberries and, using the back of a potato masher or a large fork, mash the berries until all broken up. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat. Add the lavender and set the mixture aside to steep until it tastes of raspberries and lavender, about 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pushing on the berry mixture to extract most of the juice. Discard the solids and set the syrup aside until ready to use. Makes about 1 cup of syrup (enough syrup for 8 cocktails).TIP: Syrup can be made up to 2 weeks in advance – store refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use.
Make One Cocktail: For one drink, place a few ice cubes and water in a coupe glass to chill and set aside until ready to use.Combine 1 1/2 ounces of the Hangar 1 Rosé Vodka with 1 ounce of the raspberry lavender syrup, and 1/2 ounce of freshly-squeezed lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add enough ice to fill the shaker 3/4 of the way then close and shake until the shaker is thoroughly chilled, about 15 seconds.Discard the ice water from the coupe glass then strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a slice of lime and a bud of lavender and serve immediately.
