Garden Portal

• 2 oz gin
  
• 3/4 oz Iconic Lavender Flower 
  
• 3/4 oz  fresh lemon juice 
  
• 1/2 oz aquafaba (chickpea juice, to act as the perfect vegan egg white!)
  
• small bar spoon luxardo cherry syrup (if desired).
  
• a couple dashes of sour cherry or brandied cherry bitters
  

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Dry shake without ice first for about 15-20 seconds to get the aquafaba nice and frothy. Then add ice and shake vigorously for another 20 seconds or so until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender and swirl of cherry syrup or bitters, and you’re ready to sip away in your summer garden.
