i’ve concocted a handful of really ejoyable happy hour cocktails in the past month. they are sprinkled randomly throughout my tumblr blog. but i though i would condense them here for good measure.

balsamic martini – vodka, balsamic vinegar, a big fresh strawberry.

(you absolutely have to like balsamic vinegar in order to enjoy this)

super mango cocktail – vodka, soda water, lemon juice, lavender simple syrup, mango sherbet and a mango slice.

end of the summer garden extravaganza – gin, soda water, lavender simple syrup, orange blossom water, a bit of lemon, and a strawberry.

the salty dog – vodka, grapefruit juice, lime, sea salt.

a different kind of gimlet – lavendar infused gin, sugar cube, lemon juice, lime juice.

and one more shot of the balsamic martini because it looked so cool.
