Triple sec

An interpretation of gin and tonic with lavender. By the way, lilac is the color of the year, so the cocktail is also very fashionable in this sense. Lavender is in the decoration and in the syrup we use. We buy the syrup, but if you want to make it at home, follow the instructions: 700 ml of water, a bunch of lavender per 100 grams, 1 kg of sugar. Andrey Osipov, head bartender at Pioner Cafe (Yalta), shared the recipe with us.
