The Lavender Sour is a modern cocktail that was created by JB Bernstein at Vernick Food & Drink in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Inspired by the flower fields of spring and summer, the recipe pairs an aromatic lavender syrup with the botanicals of gin, the sourness of lemon, the herbal qualities of Green Chartreuse, and the richness of egg white to make a frothy and floral beverage great for warm weather sipping.
Add gin, lemon juice, Green Chartreuse, lavender 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.
