Maralyn and I meet with a small group of writers when she is visiting on Longboat Key, Florida. The last time we enjoyed lavender lemonade and shortbread cookies infused with fresh French lavender. We indulged and then posted the unique recipes on this website. I came up with this new drink for our next gathering in the island sun. Keep tasting to achieve desired results. Absolutely delicious, even before adding the vodka.
