A Practically Magic Margarita

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Tequila

• 1 oz Lime juice

• 1/2 oz Blood orange juice

• 1/2 oz Lavender simple syrup (Recipe Below)

• Rosemary sprig (to smoke)

• Optional: Soda water and a pinch of salt

• Garnish: Lavender and rosemary sprig

• Rim: Agave and lavender-colored sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Mix the Magic: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, blood orange juice, lavender simple syrup, and a pinch of salt (throw a little over your left shoulder for good luck!).

2. Shake it Up: Add ice to the shaker and shake well.

3. Smoke the Rosemary: Light the tip of a rosemary sprig with a flame, and once it’s out, capture the smoke with your glass to infuse it with a smoky aroma.

4. Rim the Glass: Dip the rim of your glass into agave, then into lavender-colored sprinkles for a magical touch.

5. Pour and Garnish: Add fresh ice to the glass, strain in your margarita, and finish with a rosemary and lavender sprig.

Lavender Simple Syrup:

Combine 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until fully combined and the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from the heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of dried lavender and 2 teaspoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice. Let sit for 30 mins to an hour at the minimum. Using a mesh strainer, strain out the dried lavender. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
