Los Poblanos’ signature Lavender ’99 Cocktail pays homage to 1999, the first year lavender was planted on the farm. The cocktail showcases their Western Dry Gin with its aromatic juniper notes and a house-made lavender syrup which you can find in their farm shops or purchase online. You can also make it yourself if you choose, with some of the instructions below, but Los Poblanos has you covered with their recipe.

How Los Poblanos Makes Lavender Syrup for Its Signature Cocktail

Once you start making your own simple syrup, you’ll never go back. Though Los Poblanos keeps their recipe a secret, all you have to do to make your own is combine sugar and water in a saucepan, and then add dried lavender once the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let the lavender steep in the syrup for about 15-20 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor to be. After steeping, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the lavender. Then, you’ll be able to make other lavender cocktail recipes.
