Ingredients
Preparation
Grab a tall glass and pour in the lavender syrup. Fill glass with ice and set aside. Pour the gin, Pamplemousse liqueur, grapefruit juice, edible glitter, and lime juice into a shaker. Add ice to the shaker, then shake vigorously until cocktail is well chilled. Strain into the ice filled glass, being careful not to disturb the lavender syrup layer, garnish with dried rose and bruléed grapefruit.
To make the lavender syrup, add ¼ cup dried lavender buds and ¼ cup dried blue pea flowers, 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Heat on medium until all of the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and let the lavender and blue pea flowers steep until the mixture cools to room temperature. Strain and store in a food safe container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
For the Brûlée grapefruit wheel, slice a grapefruit into ½ wheels. Gently pat the slice dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Dip the wheel in a bowl of sugar to coat. Hold the torch flame over the sugared grapefruit, moving the flame around until the sugar is evenly charred.
