Summer Cordial recipe Via

In a collins glass combine:

• 1 oz of Tonic
• 1 oz of lavender sage honey syrup
• A squeeze of fresh meyer lemon juice
• 2 oz of your favorite Gin

Add ice, top with soda water, stir, add a slice or two of meyer lemon and a sprig of fresh sage. Sip slowly. 

For the lavender sage honey syrup:

• 1 cup of local honey
• 1 cup of water 
• 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds
• 4 sage sprigs

In a small saucepan bring the honey and water to a boil for a moment. Reduce the heat and add dried lavender buds. Cook at a low simmer until the water has reduced by a third. Remove from the heat, add the sage and let it sit for a couple hours. Strain into a glass jar for keeping.
