I’ve been into infusing spirits with botanicals lately, here’s my latest experiment—Lavender and Nectarine Margarita! Perfection. Next time, I want to try it with apricots. Apricot and lavender is a top tier flavor combination—I had goat cheese ice cream topped with lavender and apricot soda at @ateranyc 7 years ago, and I STILL think about it all the time.
That’s what inspired me to juice over ripe nectarines and infuse tequila with lavender last night. The results were delicious. The juiciness of stone fruit mellows out lavender to create a lush, sweet flavor that works really well with tequila.
Recipe: 2 tsp dried lavender (@tebellateacompany) 2oz tequila (@donjuliotequila) 1oz fresh nectarine juice 1/2oz lime juice 1/2oz @cointreau
Add the dried lavender to tequila, let it infuse for 5 minutes. Juice your nectarines (I’ll be honest, I cut 2 nectarines into quarters and squeezed the pieces with a citrus press—it works, but it’s messy. I’m too lazy to deal with boiling fruit for juice. Do whatever method you like best).
Strain the infused tequila straight into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add the lime juice, nectarine juice, and @cointreau. Shake until nice and icy, then strain into an ice-filled glass. https://www.instagram.com/p/CitdmWbMRjl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Also made the LavenderTea doodle page since I'm probably gonna make doodle pages of Grace with all the other (adult) female characters anyway and then possibly the (adult) male characters once I finish all the girls
