The Lavender Honey Cream is a spring cocktail that was created by H. Joseph Ehrmann in San Fransisco, California. The recipe starts with a base of botanical spirit, a unique liquor that is similar to a floral vodka or juniper-free gin, and it pairs the spirit with thick cream, two floral syrups, and frothy egg white. The result is a creamy drink that’s reminiscent of a flowery sleep aid.
Add botanical spirit, heavy cream, lavender syrup, honey syrup, and egg white to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using tongs, remove ice from shaker.
Dry shake for 5-10 more seconds to emulsify egg.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into a coupe glass.
Garnish with dried lavender buds.
