Ingredients
Lavender sugar cubes
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon lavender extract
- 1 teaspoon water
- food coloring optional — I used 1 drop each of red and blue
Lavender champagne cocktail
- 1-2 pieces lavender sugar cubes
- 1 ounce vodka
- 4-6 ounces dry sparkling wine such as brut champagne or prosecco
Instructions
- Make the sugar cubes. Make lavender sugar cubes at least one day ahead of time. Add the sugar to a medium bowl, then pour in lavender extract, water and food colors. Mix well, until color is evenly distributed.½ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon lavender extract, 1 teaspoon water, food coloring
- With a metal spoon, distribute the sugar into the compartments of the ice cube tray or candy mold. With your fingers, press the sugar into the molds to pack it in tightly. (This will help your cubes to stay together and not crumble once they've dried.) Set in a cool, dry place to harden for at least 2 hours or overnight (recommended).
- Gently, pop out the cubes, which are now ready to use. Store in an airtight container.
- Make the cocktail. Place a lavender sugar cube in the bottom of a champagne flute. Add vodka. Top glass with champagne. Serve immediately.1-2 pieces lavender sugar cubes, 1 ounce vodka, 4-6 ounces dry sparkling wine
Notes
Makes approximately 12 sugar cubes (depending on size of tray/molds).
