A Floral Trailside Escape
The secret to this cocktail is the balance between the floral aromatics of the lavender and the creamy, grounding warmth of vanilla. We’ve developed a housemade lavender-vanilla syrup that tames the sharper edges sometimes associated with floral drinks, resulting in a flavor profile that is soft, slightly sweet, and incredibly approachable. It’s a refreshing, garden-inspired sip designed for easy drinking.
The Craft: Botanical Harmony
By using a classic dry gin, we provide a crisp, herbal canvas that allows our signature syrup to shine. The fresh lemon juice provides a necessary bright acidity, ensuring that the lavender remains a subtle, elegant note. The result is a cocktail that feels light and airy—perfect for those who want something sophisticated but not overly spirit-heavy.
The Point Nine Experience: A Refreshing All-Day Sip
Lavender Fields is an expressive and graceful choice for any time of day. It is an exceptional partner for a light lunch or a fresh appetizer on the patio. The herbal notes of the drink highlight fresh garden flavors and lighter fare, making it a perfect mid-afternoon refresher while you enjoy the breeze and the yard games.
