Xray the Enforcer Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 We are drinking gimlets.0.5 oz lime juice. 1/2 tsp sugar. 2 oz gin. (we are using Navy strength gin so slightly less gin than that for ours)It's not ideal in that we typically use simple syrup, but we don't have that on hand tonight. This is also slightly dry compared to our normal recipe. So, a manly gimlet.If you want to be lush, make a lavender simple syrup for the weekend. Lavender gin gimlets are the shizz.wish you and K were up here drinking with us. we could sit around and drink and listen to more LPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavender gin gimlets are the shizz.dry lavender flowers? ratio? how much sugar, water and lavender?i have an affinity for lavender. i have two recipes in a lavender society cookbook. no, seriously. one is a halibut cheek poached in lavender infused oil and the other is lavender scented creme brulee with honey shortbread cookies.as the dear and wonderful wife has taken to gin all of a sudden i feel this cocktail will be right up her alley.

Xray the Enforcer Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 gin? OH FUCK MDF will be EPIC.re: lavender simple syrup. It's been awhile, so I don't have the recipe handy.We tend to make our syrup regular: equal volumes sugar and water. Boil until clear. cool. bottle.To make a cup a lavender simple syrup, add 3 or 4 tablespoons of dried whole flower to 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water. Boil together until sugar dissolves, then steep flowers until syrup is cool or overnight. Strain and bottle. Thus, it's not a drink for tonight, but for tomorrow.And those recipes sound AMAZING. I love lavender in cooking and am contemplating putting it in a pale ale for spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 :wideeyed: I've got a bunch of lavender plants that all I ever do with the flowers is dry them for sachets. That lavender gin gimlet sounds divine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 DO IT. There are many culinary uses for lavender, especially in baked goods, drinks (including tea) and in flavoring the lighter varieties of meat. Hell, just a lavender simple syrup can be used in a variety of settings...even just with lime juice and soda for a non-alcoholic treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed out on egg and bacon sandwiches as a result. :tantrum:It's not ideal in that we typically use simple syrup, but we don't have that on hand tonight.

Balefont Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Really?! It's the first time we tried it (that I can remember) and it is really full-flavored for the price. A great it's-been-a-long-week scotch.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
