Lavender Chocolate Sour – As You Wish
Matching that rounded rye mouthfeel with the lavender’s floral and chocolate’s earthy notes gives you a cocktail that tastes almost like a lavender lemon bar dipped in chocolate. It is a match made in cocktail heaven. It's a taste you'll fall in love with.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Sagamore Spirit Rye
- ½ oz lavender simple syrup
- ¾ oz crème de cacao
- ¾ oz lemon juice
- 1 oz aquafaba or egg white optional
- 3 dashes chocolate bitters
- Garnish: lemon peel and lavender sprig
Instructions
- In a shaker, combine whiskey, syrup, liqueur, bitters and egg white/aquafaba if using. Shake for 30 seconds. Add ice and shake for 30 to 60 more seconds – until the shaker is frosted over and so cold it hurts. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with lemon peel and lavender sprig.
Notes
** Lavender simple: Brew 2 tablespoons of lavender with 1 cup of water. Steep and let cool. Strain, add 1 cup of sugar and stir until combined. Store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Great in homemade lemonade, any whiskey sour, added to a champagne cocktail/mimosa, mixed in a refreshing mule or in added to a vodka tonic.
