Ingredients

  • 2 oz Blackberry Infused Sparkling Water 1 oz Lavender Honey Syrup 1 tsp Lemon Zest 1 sprig Fresh Mint 2 slices Star Fruit

Instructions

  1. a. Begin by creating the Blackberry Infused Sparkling Water. Combine fresh blackberries with still water and let them steep for at least 30 minutes, then strain and add sparkling water to create a fruity infusion. b. Next, prepare the Lavender Honey Syrup by combining honey and dried lavender in a jar, allowing it to infuse for at least an hour before straining and bottling. c. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the Blackberry Infused Sparkling Water, Lavender Honey Syrup, lemon zest, and two mint leaves. Shake vigorously until well combined. d. Strain the mixture into a glass, allowing it to pour gently from above in a curved motion, creating a soft cascade effect. e. Garnish with a star fruit slice and a single sprig of mint, delicately placed atop the drink.

Chef’s Insight

The key to this mocktail is the infusion of flavors; let the blackberries and lavender steep for longer if you prefer a stronger taste.
