Spring Thaw

- 2 Cups Water
- 3 Tbsp Lemon Juice

Ice Cube Instructions
In a medium heavy bottom pan, add the water, lemon juice and honey and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, pour 1 Tbsp of the mixture into each cube mold in an ice cube tray. Sprinkle a pinch of lavender and lemon zest on top of each mold and place in the freezer for an hour or until frozen. Repeat in stages, until the ice cube trays are full, and freeze for an additional hour. If the ice cubes are not built in stages, the lavender and lemon zest will just float on top. This allows the flavors to be dispersed evenly, and the cocktail just gets better as you enjoy.
Cocktail Instructions
In a shaker, combine the gin and lemon juice with plain ice, shaking for 30 seconds or until cold. Rim a glass with purple decorating sugar (optional). Pour over flavored ice cubes and top with club soda. Garnish with a sprig of lavender.
