Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute lavender tea bags for dried lavender, and aged rum for bourbon.

    The header notes tout this as a make-ahead batch cocktail to avoid fussing over last minute party prep. It’s both pretty and tasty so I can see the appeal but it requires making both a blackberry shrub AND a lavender and honey syrup so it’s not exactly fuss-free. The lavender isn’t strong or perfume-y but does add a nice floral note. The header notes also suggest trying this with aged rum. I did that but preferred it as written with bourbon. It was also excellent with no alcohol at all and a bit of extra sparkling water. I’m looking forward to using the remaining shrub the same way, in a tall glass of sparkling water.
