The Spring Gin Mule is a Novel Nightcaps original cocktail that was created as a springtime variation of our Holiday Gin Mule and Winter Gin Mule. The recipe was made for Victoria Distillers Empress 1908 gin, a popular spirit flavored and colored bright purple with butterfly pea blossom. The botanical flavor of the spirit is then complemented with a flowery lavender syrup, lime juice, and ginger beer.
Add gin, lavender syrup, and lime juice to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Add fresh cracked ice to a lowball glass.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into lowball glass.
Top with ginger beer.
Garnish with lavender sprig.
