What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2.5 Meyer lemons
  • Zest of one Meyer lemon
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint
  • 2 sprigs fresh marjoram
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh lavender, heads only
  • 2 - 2.5 oz. * elderflower syrup
  • Good quality sparkling water, such as Gerolsteiner
Directions
  1. Zest 1 of the Meyer lemons. Pull the leaves from the stems of all of your herbs.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker 1/3 of the way with crushed ice, and add the following ingredients: the herb leaves and lavender flowers, lemon juice and zest & the elderflower syrup *you may need a half oz. more or less elderflower syrup dependent upon how large your lemons are. Start with the modest measure, and increase if needed. The finished drink should be a perfect sweet/tart balance.

I write. I cook. I want A&M's job! Just kidding. No, I'm not. I used to be a professional chef, and while I no longer want to be in a professional kitchen, I could never stop cooking. How cliche that I write and cook, nonetheless, the two marry quite happily and blogging fulfills both of those passions for me with an immediacy that I crave. I would love some day to do it full-time. I have two blogs at the moment, and I'm developing a third. Have a look: http://mangiatuttadimaiale.blogspot.com/ http://tartine-bread.blogspot.com/

Thank you. It's such a great mocktail. The herbs make me keep coming back to it again and again. It's a piece of nature in the middle of the city!
