1½ oz Shine Vodka
½ oz coconut rum
¼ oz heavy cream
½ oz egg white

½ oz simple syrup
2 dashes lavender bitters

THYME, LIME & LAVENDER CRISP
This floral vodka cocktail is the sophisticated older sibling of lavender lemonade. It goes down fast and quenches thirst, but take a moment to savor this beverage’s full bouquet of flavors.

2 sprigs lavender, set aside 1 for garnish
2 sprigs thyme, set aside 1 for garnish
2 oz Shine Vodka
½ oz elderflower liqueur (we recommend St. Germain)

1 splash soda water (to top off)
STEPS
Fill a shaker halfway with ice.
In a bar tin, muddle 1 sprig each of lavender and thyme with lime juice.
Add Shine Vodka and elderflower liqueur to shaker. Shake well.
