Lavender Veil
About
The Lavender Veil is a light, aromatic twist on the classic martini structure - floral, citrus-forward, and incredibly elegant in the glass. The combination of gin, fresh lemon juice, and lavender simple syrup gives the drink a refreshing balance of botanicals, brightness, and soft sweetness.
It’s the kind of cocktail that feels instantly refined yet surprisingly easy to make - perfect for spring evenings, garden parties, or whenever you want something crisp and fragrant without getting complicated.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. You want the citrus to integrate fully and the flavors to brighten up.
