Tasting Notes

The Peachy Lavender Cocktail is a light, floral-forward cocktail that combines fruit, spice, and elegance in every sip. Dry white wine and Americano aperitivo create a crisp, slightly bitter backbone, while peach-lavender syrup adds delicate sweetness and aromatic floral depth. Lemon juice brightens the blend, and a touch of ginger liqueur offers subtle warmth. Topped with fragrant lavender buds, this drink is regal, refreshing, and perfect for slow sipping.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker for mixing, a jigger for accurate measuring, and a fine mesh strainer for a smooth finish. Serve in a chilled coupe for a refined look or a stemmed wine glass for a breezy garden-party vibe. Garnish tweezers help with precise lavender placement.

Ingredients

• 2 oz dry white wine
• 0.75 oz Americano aperitivo
• 0.75 oz peach-lavender syrup
• 0.5 oz lemon juice
• 0.25 oz ginger liqueur

Pro Tips

• Use a fruity, unoaked white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
• Don’t over-shake—just enough to chill without diluting the wine.

• Optional: Add a splash of club soda for a lightly sparkling variation.
