Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Margarita glass
  • Measuring Jigger
  • Bar spoon or stirrer

Ingredients
  

Lavender Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp dried culinary lavender buds

Margarita Base

  • 2 oz silver tequila 100% agave
  • 1 oz coconut cream not coconut milk
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz lavender simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz triple sec or Cointreau
  • Ice cubes
  • Coarse sea salt for rim
  • 1 fresh lavender sprig for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Lavender Simple Syrup

  • In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and lavender buds. Stir and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing the lavender to extract flavor. Cool before use. Keeps refrigerated up to 2 weeks.

Prep the Glass

  • Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass. Dip in coarse sea salt to coat. Fill the glass with fresh ice.

Shake the Margarita

  • Add tequila, coconut cream, lime juice, lavender syrup, and triple sec to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until cold and creamy.

Strain and Serve

  • Double strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use only culinary-grade lavender to avoid bitter or soapy flavors.
For coconut cream, use a canned version like Coco Lopez or scoop cream from chilled coconut milk.
Make the lavender syrup ahead for easy batch prep.
Don't pre-mix the drink more than 4 hours in advance if using coconut cream (separation can occur).
Can be made as a mocktail by replacing tequila with sparkling water and increasing lime.
