In opposition to all the naysayers, I thought this recipe was brilliant. I shook with just a vermouth glass rinse. Very refreshing.
This cocktail is refreshingly vernal. I added crushed Tellicherry Peppercorns to my second one to great effect.
Had no lavender syrup, simply substituted marachino liqueur at the same purportions as the current recipe with supurb results. Pleasantly dry and well balanced. Biggles Aviation is a favorite and now so is this. Must find the elusive lavender syrup.
They have lavender syrup at Total Wine. I just bought some; hence, I tried this recipe. 👍👍
