Lavender
FloralSpringUsed in ~3 drinks
An herbaceous floral with a camphoraceous edge — lavender sits at the intersection of flower and herb, bringing a calming, aromatic quality that can easily dominate if over-used. In cocktails, a restrained hand yields a sophisticated, almost medicinal elegance reminiscent of Provençal hillsides. Heather, its wilder cousin, shares this dried-flower, slightly woody character.
Aroma
Intensely aromatic on the nose — dried purple flowers, a hint of eucalyptus, and a soapy sweetness that fades into warm, resinous undertones.
