Vodka Soda with Lavender Simple Syrup

Since summer is officially here, lets have a toast! One of the recipes in book 2 calls for lavender simple syrup for the Grilled Peaches with Gorgonzola Dolce, and we just happen to have extra, so, Mark and I made some vodka soda drinks with the lavender simple syrup and they were delicious! I just had to share it with you all.

Vodka Soda with Lavender Simple Syrup
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. dried lavender blossoms
ice
4 oz. vodka
12. oz soda water

Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add dried lavender, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool.
Into each pint glass, add ice, 2 tablespoons lavender simple syrup, 2 oz. vodka and fill with soda water. Stir. Depending on your sweet scale, you may want more lavender simple syrup.

Cheers!
