Blueberry Lavender Collins

Blueberry Lavender Collins

Bright, aromatic, and built to refresh, the Blueberry Lavender Collins balances soft berry sweetness with a restrained floral edge and a clean citrus backbone. Lemon juice brings just enough haze and acidity to keep the drink lifted, while gin ties the fruit and lavender together without letting either take over. Finished with soda for a light, effervescent finish, it drinks crisp and structured—more composed than sweet, and designed to stay refreshing from first sip to last.
