Lavender Lace Cocktail: Straight from the Marigny

We’re continuing the summer series of sharing some of the DIY summer cocktails we enjoy at home. This one is the Lavender Lace Cocktail. We first enjoyed this in the Marigny district of New Orleans at a jazz bar called Three Muses. We recreated it, putting our own spin on it, replacing the champagne with prosecco, and using our own dried lavender. It’s easy to make, and refreshing. It’s perfect for brunch, or after a night of indulging in a few too many cocktails. The Lavender Lace Cocktail is the choice the next day when you want something, but not a drink that is heavy.
