Preparation
Tarragon syrup
Slowly bring 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a pot to boil over medium heat. Add 2 tarragon twigs and cook for 10 minutes at reduced heat. Then remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool down.
Cocktail
Moisten the edges of the glass with a slice of lemon and place it upside down in a bowl with purple sugar, so that the edge of the glass is decorated with sugar.
Then pour lemon juice, syrup, spirits and ice cubes into a shaker and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
Pour the cocktail into the glass and decorate it with 2 blackberries threaded on a lavender branch.
Little tip
Use a toothpick to pre-drill the holes. For a spooky smoking effect, put a small piece of dry ice in the glass.
Please note that the dry ice must be completely dissolved before consumption.
