The Cotswolds
A Botanical Twist on a Classic: Lavender Gin & Tonic

There’s something undeniably elegant about a well-made gin and tonic — crisp, aromatic, and effortlessly refreshing. But when you infuse it with the gentle floral notes of lavender, this timeless cocktail transforms into something truly special.
Whether you're hosting a summer garden party, winding down on a warm evening, or simply looking to elevate your at-home cocktail game, the Lavender Gin & Tonic is a beautifully balanced drink that’s as stunning as it is simple.
In this recipe, we’ll show you how to make your own lavender syrup (using fragrant blooms from Cotswold Lavender for a locally inspired touch) and pair it with a quality botanical gin — we love Cotswold Gin for its bold, herbal profile. Add crisp tonic water and a thoughtful garnish, and you’ve got a refreshing floral cocktail that’s perfect for sipping and sharing.
Ready to pour some magic into your glass? Let’s get mixing.
