It's raspberry season and we had to make up a fun cocktail to celebrate!  Raspberry Lavender Lemonade Spritzer 1 cup raspberries 1 Tbsp water 1/2 cup Lavender Lemonade 3 cups seltzer water 3 shots Raspberry Vodka (Adult version) 1 shot Lavender Simple Syrup Lavender Cocktail Pick (garnish) In a small saucepan add raspberries and 1 Tbsp water. On medium heat bring raspberries to a simmer. Continue a low simmer until raspberries break apart about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and strain off seeds. You can do this by using a back of a spoon to squeeze the raspberry mush to release the juice. Set aside. In a large glass measuring container add lavender lemonade, stir in seltzer water and cooled raspberry juice. Add vodka and serve in a glass with ice. Garnish with raspberries, lemon and lavender cocktail picks. Cheers!

We came up with this drink to add a little Irish cheer and to celebrate with those who may be drinking green beer.  Lavender-Mint Lemonade Cocktail 1 cup peppermint tea, brewed 6 Tbsp Lavender Lemonade 2 shots vodka 1 Tbsp Lavender Simple Syrup 1 cups seltzer water 1 bottle ginger beer Lemon, Lavender Cocktail Pick and mint for garnish Combine 1 cup mint tea, 1 Tbsp lavender simple syrup, 2 shots of vodka and your lavender lemonade mix together until combined and powder dissolved, add your seltzer water and stir.

Garnish your glass with a lemon wedge, mint leaf and a lavender cocktail pick. Both the mint and lavender are subtle in this drink, if you want more mint flavor double up on your bags on the brewed tea. If you want more lavender flavor double up on the Lavender Simple Syrup.
