Blueberry Lavender Lemon Drop Martini is a great spring cocktail, and perfect for your Easter holiday. It’s easy to make and uses a locally made simple syrup.

Blueberry Lavender Lemon Drop Martini

One thing that becomes really popular around spring time is lemon. Especially with me, I love lemon. 😛 (For more proof, check out my Lemonade Beermosa Beer Cocktails!) Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of people mix it with blueberry (delicious), as well as lavender.

You know…I’ve never eaten anything with lavender before. So I was intrigued.

And then I went into my local liquor store looking for some inspiration for a spring martini. The owner directed me towards a new line of simple syrups he’d ordered, called Sallie’s Greatest Simple Syrup. (Note: This isn’t a sponsored post. This is just a really cool product.) I used the Blueberry Lavender syrup (obviously) and gave it a little taste before mixing it with my lemonade. And ohhh, man.

It took a few tries to get the measurements just right. For some reason, pouring it in without measurements worked out great…but then that’s a difficult recipe to share. I can’t just say, “Mix these things together in whatever portions you want” (though you can totally do that). 😛 But after a few tries, and getting a little drunker than initially intended (FOR YOU), I managed to make it happen. 😀

Don’t drink alcohol? You can skip adding that part and just make a Blueberry Lavender Lemonade. It’s still pretty delicious. But I like mine spiked, so I added some limoncello. I actually chose limoncello because it’s also nice to sip on its own, so I knew it would get used up. Next time, though, I think I’d go for a citrus vodka for a little more of a punch.

The resulting martini was just fantastic, though. So refreshing and sweet. This will be really nice for a dessert drink, or for an Easter/Mother’s Day treat. …Or anything, really.

If you have some lemons lying around, they’ll make a pretty garnish, or add some more flavor if you want to just let them float in the glass. In fact, the next time I make this, I might just let some lemons and blueberries soak in it for a bit before drinking it. I always enjoy getting to the fruit at the bottom. 😛

If you want to check out Sallie’s site, she has a lot of recipes for her simple syrups (I really want to try the mojito!). If it weren’t so expensive, I’d probably use it on pancakes. Because wow.
