Fingers Crossed’s Lavender Lemonade

Bottoms Up

By Anna Faller | June 3, 2023

There’s something about ice-cold lemonade on a sunny day that just feels right. This summer, find us posted up at Fingers Crossed in Northport, quenching that craving with their newly-released Lavender Lemonade. A kicked-up take on the classic Tom Collins, this drink begins with the citrusy-mellow profile of Valentine’s Liberator Gin, followed by fresh-squeezed lemon juice and house-made lavender syrup. To really up the beverage ante, Butterfly Pea Flower leaves, an herbal tisane, rounds out the mix, which is what lends the cocktail its bright purple hue. Shaken, topped with a splash of soda, and finished with a lemon wedge, this seasonal sip is just begging for a swimsuit and a pool noodle. Don’t forget the SPF! (Psst—it can also be made as a zero-proof mocktail!). Enjoy a Lavender Lemonade ($12) at Fingers Crossed in Northport (108 S. Waukazoo St.).
