Karly’s Kocktail
To reproof your drink add 2oz of vodka. This cocktail will be slightly floral, so stick to more neutral spirit if possible. Looking for that tropical vacation vibe? Just add light rum and feel that warm breeze from your backyard.
Lavender soda can be found at Target or whole foods. You can also substitute lemon soda water and omit the lemon juice and add a sprig of lavender.
