The lavender gimlet is a lavender cocktail made from botanical gin, lime juice, and lavender simple syrup. It's the perfect cocktail for a warm summer evening.
When it was created, the gimlet was a sweet drink made with equal amounts of gin and lime cordial. Over the years, cocktails have become less sweet as tastes have changed.
