Cocktail Coupe

Named for the subway train that led directly to our original Bushwick workshop, The L Train is a lavender cocktail that's perfect for brightening up gray, drizzly city days.

At the end of each summer, we pay a visit to the Union Square Farmers Market in New York City to gather late-season lavender to dry. While drying several bunches of fresh lavender can provide you with a full supply throughout the year (and makes a room smell amazing), you can also buy dried lavender for your cocktails in many of the stores where you find other dried herbs and spices.
