Ingredients

  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 0.5 oz Creme de Violette
  • 0.5 oz Butterfly Pea Flower & Lavender Syrup
  • 1 oz Lemon Juice
  • Egg Whites

Instructions

  1. Combine all your ingredients in a shaker without ice and dry shake (meaning the shaker has only the liquid and no ice - this helps emulsify and provide a thicker foam top).
  2. Open up the shaker and add ice. Shake vigorously once more.
  3. Strain into a Martini or Coupe Glass.

Recipe Notes

To make the Butterfly Pea Flower & Lavender Syrup, grab a small saucer, and over med/high heat, combine 1 cup Water, 1 cup Granulated Sugar, 1 tbsp of dried Lavender buds with 1 Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Bag. Stir until sugar dissolves, and let this come to a boil. Lower the temp and simmer for 5 minutes before straining out the tea. Let it come to room temperature before use and/or storage. Good for 6 cocktails. Lasts up to 2 weeks in the fridge (but it will lose it’s flavour after 3 days).
