Chill the Glass:

Begin by chilling a flute or coupe glass in the freezer to ensure your cocktail stays cold.

Combine Gin, Lemon Juice, and Lavender Syrup:

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the Empress Gin, fresh lemon juice, and lavender syrup. The Empress Gin will provide a beautiful, natural indigo color that's both alluring and delightful.

Shake Well:

Secure the lid on your cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but also ensures that the ingredients are well-combined.

Strain:

Remove your glass from the freezer and strain the mixture into it, leaving enough room at the top for your sparkling wine or champagne.

Top with Sparkling Wine:

Gently pour the sparkling wine or champagne over the back of a spoon or directly into the glass to fill. This method helps maintain the cocktail's layers and fizz.

Garnish:

Carefully garnish your cocktail with a thin slice of lemon, resting it on the rim or floating it atop.

Add edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance and color. The flowers not only enhance the cocktail's visual appeal but also hint at the lavender's floral notes.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of botanical, citrus, and floral flavors in this exquisite cocktail.
