Lavender Prosecco Mojito

Happy almost-weekend, folks! 

I hope most of you haven’t spent this week sick like I have.  Though it has made the week go by quickly in a haze of cough medicine and fuzzy-brain-syndrome. 

And now it’s Thursday evening already, and tomorrow’s Friday!  So I’m plotting another batch of this beautiful cocktail I made last weekend.  Because I will insist on being healthy this weekend, and drinking this awesome concoction.

Lavender simple syrup.  Plus rum.  Prosecco.  Mint. 


It’s just so happy.  And spring-like.  We can pretend it’s spring.  Will it to be here, right?

Then we  can say goodbye to all the cough medicine and insane amount of tea that we’ve consumed this cold/flu season (if you’re anything like me.)

lavender simple syrup: 
1/4 C raw sugar
1/4 C water
3 T dried lavender

Place everything in a small saucepan and turn on low heat.  Stir occasionally, until sugar dissolves.  Remove from heat and allow to coo completely.  Then strain out lavender.



the whole drink: 
serves 1
1 oz rum
several fresh mint leaves
1 t lavender syrup
6 oz prosecco

Muddle mint and rum in a glass.  Add lavender syrup, prosecco, and stir!
