I know I shouldn’t complain. I know it’s like 102 degrees on the East Coast. But right now it’s 80 degrees outside my Alaska home and it’s TOO DANG HOT.

All we can really do is sit around and complain about how hot it is, so we might as well drink while we’re doing it.

I came up with this delightful fizzy concoction that’s sure to quench your thirst on the most sizzling day.

Lavender Gin Fizz

Ingredients

• Ice
• 2 oz. gin
• 1.5 oz. pineapple juice
• juice of 1 lime
• 1 oz. lavender simple syrup (rose syrup would be tasty too)
• Club soda

Fill a tumbler with crushed ice. Add the gin, pineapple juice, lime juice, lavender syrup and top with soda. Stir and serve with a lime wedge.

Enjoy!
