honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: simple syrup

Agave syrup is lower on the glycemic index, while simple syrup is more economical.

Create lavender honey simple syrup: combine 1 part honey, 1 part sugar, and 2 parts water in a pot with 1 tablespoon dried lavender and 1 tablespoon butterfly pea flour. Boil and then simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Start building the cocktail by adding 2 ounces of Empress 1908 gin to a glass.

Add 3/4 ounce of lavender honey simple syrup to the glass.

Add 3/4 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the glass.

Add a couple dashes of lavender bitters to the mixture.

Crack a fresh egg white into the glass.

Pour the mixture into a cocktail shaker for a dry shake (shake without ice).

Add ice cubes to the shaker (one regular and one cracked) for a wet shake.

Shake vigorously until well combined.

Double strain the mixture into a Nick and Nora glass.

Decorate the drink with bitters to paint a '28' on the surface.

Add butterfly pea flowers, rose petals, lavender, viscous, and edible glitter as garnishes.
