This Lavender Martini is sweet, a little tart, and is flavored with floral and herbaceous lavender. It is as delicious as it is elegant.

Between the gorgeous color and delicate flavor, this drink is perfect for Spring and Summertime sipping. Lavender and lemon are such complementary flavors - they were basically made for one another!

🌟 Why You'll Love This Recipe

It looks so elegant. I think any martini looks pretty elegant, but there's something about this pretty purple number that is especially so.
But it's easy to make. Fancy appearances aside, it's quite easy to shake up one of these drinks.
It's floral and delicious. This martini is sweet and floral and completely delicious.

💭 What is a Lavender Martini?

You know martinis: gin or vodka, classic or dirty, shaken or stirred, olive or twist. All that jazz.

This martini is vodka-based and takes on the lovely floral and color of lavender flowers.

📝 Ingredients

  • Vodka: You want to reach for plain vodka here. I'd recommend using something that you wouldn't mind using in a mixed drink. So, nothing too crazy in terms of quality: you don't want well vodka, but you also don't need Belvedere or anything like that.
  • Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed, please!
  • Lavender simple syrup: You can use store bought (I like Torani) or homemade lavender simple syrup for this recipe. I do want to note that if you use the homemade recipe that I've linked, your martini won't be a vibrant purple color. The store bought syrup will impart the beautiful purple color of the lavender. As you can probably tell by the photos, I used store bought syrup for this drink.
  • Garnishes: As always, garnishes aren't mandatory. However, I really think that garnishes can make a drink. I used lemon wheels and fresh lavender flowers.

👩🏻‍🍳 How to make a lavender martini

Though these martinis definitely look fancy, they're surprisingly easy to make. Can you shake and strain a cocktail? Well, then you can make these martinis.

Start by combining your vodka, lemon juice, and lavender syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake it until it's very cold and strain it into a coupe glass.

Don't have a coupe glass? Don't fret. You can really drink this martini out of any sort of glass that you like/have. Coupe glasses (or regular martini glasses) are just the classic choice for this kind of drink.

After that, if you so choose, you can float a lemon wheel and a bit of fresh lavender flower on top of the martini's surface.

❓ FAQs/Tips and Tricks

Can I make a big batch of these martinis?

I wouldn't advise making these in a huge quantity, but if you wanted to shake up a couple at a time rather than making them individually, you could do it. Just double all of the ingredients, shake, and strain half into each of your glasses.

Can I make these martinis another flavor?

Sure, but then they won't be a lavender martini. But yes, you can use another flavor of simple syrup, if you'd like.

Do I need to use a coupe glass or martini glass for this drink?

Though it's traditional to serve a martini in a martini or coupe glass, you don't have to use one. Use whatever you have or like!
