Summer Cocktail

A lovely summer cocktail recipe from our recent First Ladies Club in Victoria, BC. Thanks to Bash Specialty and Rock Paper Square for hosting such a great evening. 

The Molly Jane

1 oz Victoria Gin
1 oz Gifford's Grapefruit
1/2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
1/2 oz lavender simple syrup

Shake all ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into glass. Garnish with lavender sprig and sage leaf.

Lavender Simple Syrup

Boil equal parts sugar and water (adjust the sugar to taste). When boiling, add 2 teaspoons lavender buds. Reduce for 30-40 minutes. Pour through fine strainer to remove lavender buds. Refrigerate to store in a sealed container for up to three weeks.
