Instructions

  1. Step 1: To prepare lavender honey syrup, combine 0.5 cup honey, 0.5 cup water, and 1 tsp dried lavender flowers in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat for 5 minutes until honey dissolves and lavender is fragrant. Strain and cool.
  2. Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, muddle 5 fresh basil leaves gently to release aroma without tearing.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 oz gin, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, 1 oz fresh orange juice, and 0.75 oz cooled lavender honey syrup to the shaker. Fill shaker with 1 cup ice cubes and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well chilled.
  4. Step 4: Strain mixture into a chilled Collins glass filled with fresh ice. Top with 2 oz club soda and stir gently to combine.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with a sprig of basil and a thin lemon wheel on the rim for an aromatic and citrusy fizz experience.
