Instructions
Step 1
In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, combine 1 cup (250 ml) water with the Redpath® Golden Yellow Sugar. Place over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the dried lavender. Stir and simmer for 1 minute.
Step 2
Turn off heat, cover, and allow lavender to steep and syrup to cool; 20 minutes.
Step 3
Strain syrup; discard lavender. Place strained syrup in the fridge to chill completely; at least 25 minutes.
Step 4
In a pitcher combine chilled, freshly squeezed lemon juice, with the lavender simple syrup. Stir to thoroughly combine. Stir in the remaining 1 cup (250 ml) of cold, filtered water. Place in the fridge until cocktails are ready to be made.
Step 1
Fill each glass with about ⅓ cup (83 ml) of sparkling wine. Top with ⅓ cup (83 ml) of the chilled lemon-lavender-ade.
Step 2
Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender or a lemon slice. Serve immediately.
