Lavender Fields

Start by making your Lavender Blueberry syrup, since it’s the most time-consuming part of the process.

To Make the Lavender Blueberry Syrup:

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp dried lavender

• 1 cup white sugar

• 1 cup water

• 1/2 cup blueberries

Step 1. Add dried lavender, sugar, and water into a pot; stir and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 2. After the lavender has infused the syrup for five minutes, strain the syrup into a bowl to remove and dispose of the lavender pods.

Step 3. Add the syrup back to the pot, then add blueberries and simmer for another 5-7 minutes.

Step 4. Once the blueberries begin to burst and release color, remove the pot from heat and add its contents to a blender.

Step 5. Blend the syrup lightly for about 10 seconds, then strain the liquid into a bowl to remove any blueberry skins or seeds.

Step 6. Refrigerate the syrup once it has come to room temperature. The recipe makes approximately two cups of syrup, which will last about two weeks in the refrigerator!

To Make the Lavender Fields:

Makes approximately 16 drinks

Ingredients:

• 1 750ml bottle of Brother Justus American Single Malt Whiskey

• 1 cup of Lavender Blueberry Syrup

• 2 cups fresh lemon juice

• 10 ice cubes

Step 1. Combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl or pitcher and stir well (the ice cubes will melt to dilute the cocktail to the appropriate amount).

Step 2. Use a ladle to serve into a Collins or rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge and a sprig of lavender and enjoy!
