    The Riviera Lavender Gimlet

    Gin, fresh lime, Provençal lavender syrup & a sprig of rosemary

    Provençal sunshine distilled into a single, perfect glass

    The Story

    The French Riviera's lavender fields are as legendary as its film festivals — endless purple horizons stretching across Provence. The gimlet, a crisp gin-and-lime classic, gets a Riviera makeover with lavender syrup made from the same fields that inspired Cézanne and Matisse. It's a cocktail that tastes like long afternoons on a sunlit terrace overlooking the Côte d'Azur.
