This bubbly lavender cocktail is a chill beverage in more ways than one. From Grace Gutierrez at Refinery29, The Cannabis Kitchen Cookbook recipe combines florals, champagne and marijuana. Ideal for a relaxing and celebratory occasion, the Lemon Lavender Champagne incorporates 1 mg of THC as well. The flowery pot simple syrup pairs quite nicely with quality champagne.
To recreate this weed-infused lavender cocktail at home, you will need water, vegetable glycerin, lavender flowers (fresh or dried), granulated sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cured cannabis flowers and champagne. You can also add garnishes such as lemon peel, lemon wedges or sprigs of lavender. They look quite nice served in white wine glasses at brunch. You will also need a cheesecloth and fine mesh strainer.
