Serves 2-3 cocktails depending on the size of your glass. LAVENDER LEMONADE MARTINI Ingredients For the lavender simple syrup: 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 6 sprigs of lavender For the cocktail: 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice 4 oz vodka, chilled To Garnish: Sugar for rimming Additional lavender sprigs Lemon slices, halved Instructions To Make the Simple Syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a pot on the stove and bring to a boil; cook only until the sugar is dissolved. Add lavender sprigs and allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally. To Make the Cocktail: Rim the edge of two martini glasses with a lemon slice and dip the edge into sugar (I like cake decorating sugar with larger crystals) Strain the lavender simple syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and add the lemon juice and vodka. Shake until VERY cold. Pour the lemonade/vodka mixture through a strainer into a cocktail glass. I prefer it without ice but if you prefer, put some crushed ice into the glass first. Garnish with lavender sprigs and lemon slices. Notes This is also a delightful drink without the vodka if serving to non drinkers or children!

RHUBARB MOJITO makes 1 small cocktail 1 oz white rum 2 oz rhubarb syrup (recipe below) 5 (or so) mint leaves 1 Tablespoon lime juice lime zest nutmeg In the bottom of a glass add a bit of nutmeg, lime zest, mint leaves and the lime juice. Using a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon muddle the ingredients. You want to really bruise and break up the mint leaves. Add the rum and syrup, give a light stir then top with ice. Garnish with mint and a thin slice of rhubarb. Rhubarb Syrup This is enough syrup to make plenty of cocktails. If alcohol isn’t for you a couple ounces of this syrup added to sparkling water and a squeeze of lime makes a delightful non-alcoholic version of this drink. 8 oz chopped rhubarb (2-3 small stalks) 1 cup sugar 2 cups water ¼ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ½ vanilla bean (optional) Combine all the ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Let cool completely. Strain the ingredients. Reserve the rhubarb to top yogurt, ice cream or oatmeal. The syrup will keep covered in the fridge for two weeks. Recipe from http://notwithoutsalt.com/rhubarb-mojito-a-giveaway/
