with love, from Tofino – make this Shelter mocktail and cocktail for Mother’s Day

For this Mother’s Day, the Shelter team has two recipes, for a mocktail (with no alcohol) and a cocktail.
(scroll down for a printable version of the recipes)

First for the mocktail, called the Jimmy Lavender:

In a tall glass, stir together:

• Lavender Honey Syrup 1/2oz
• Lemon Juice 1oz
• Soda water
• Top with cranberry juice
• Garnish with a lime wheel

and for the cocktail recipe:  Lavender in Bloom

In a tumbler, stir together:

• Arbutus Distillery Blue Gin (from Nanaimo) 2oz
• Lavender & Honey Syrup*** 1oz
• Lemon Juice 1oz
• Egg White 1oz (around 1/2 an egg white)
• Sprinkle of dried lavender on top

***The base recipe for this is for a honey syrup; Mix equal parts sugar & water, then add 1 cup of dried lavender.  Bring it all to the boiling point. Once it’s boiling, let it rest and strain it so there is no dried lavender residue in the syrup.
