One weekend, I went to a fancy pizza place downtown and asked the server if I could exchange the chorizo for prosciutto on my pizza. She said she’d be right back—she had to speak with the chef and manager to see if that was possible. Upon her return: “Um, the chef highly recommends that you do not make that substitution. We’d really advise you against it.” 40% of me: Heck yeah I respect that—it’s your menu, your craft, you’re a chef, I trust your judgment. Another 40%: WTF?! Who are you to...

Shake everything but the Mixicles with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe with Lavender Peach Mixicles. If omitting the Mixicles, you may want to add a barspoon of gum syrup for a bit of extra sweetness.

Editor's Note

Batavia Arrack adds a funky, aromatic backbone to this floral-citrus sour. Peach bitters bridge the gap between the lavender and the bright lemon finish.
