The final days of summer. How could this be? Summer seems to slip away more quickly every passing year. Anyway, Labor Day weekend is the perfect finale to the sunny season as well as an excuse to throw an unforgettable cocktail party. Make the most of this weekend enjoying the sunshine poolside with this week's classy cocktail, which is aptly named The Last Summer Friday. This beverage is best sipped slowly while basking under the sun. Cheers!
The Last Summer Friday
1 1/2 oz. Bombay Sapphire Gin
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz. lavender syrup
3 fresh, muddled strawberries
3 oz. club soda
1 lemon wedge
1 strawberry slice
Squeeze half a lemon into a tall glass, add lavender syrup, and gin. Stir and fill with ice. Top with club soda, and garnish with a lemon wedge and a strawberry slice.
