No matter. Summer's a time to relax and chill out. Hit the deck with some margaritas!
Here's a recipe served by my heroine, Joss Gibson, at her bed and breakfast, Lavender Hill Inn. Joss grows her own lavender but you can purchase culinary lavender (check the label to be sure it's free of chemicals and pollutants). Refreshing and light, it’s a perfect summer drink!
Lavender Margaritas
Ingredients
• 1 cup of tequila, to taste (optional)
• ½ cup blue curacao or other orange-flavored liqueur
• 1 cup canned coconut milk
• 1/3 cup lime juice
• 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, unsweetened
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, unsweetened
• 4 cups ice cubes
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh or dried culinary lavender blossoms
• Lime wedge
Directions
1. In blender,
combine tequila, curacao, coconut milk and lime juice. Cover and mix on high
speed. Gradually add raspberries, blueberries, and ice. Mix until margarita
mixture is smooth yet slushy.
2. In small
bowl, mash sugar and lavender blossoms with a spoon. Rub glass rims with lime
wedge to moisten. Dip rims in lavender sugar (or coarse salt), coating evenly.
3. Pour
margaritas into glasses. Garnish with lavender sprigs.
4. Enjoy! (Responsibly)
