I’ve been a fan of Liber & Co’s cocktail syrups for a while now. It started with the realization that the cloying Grenadine syrups readily available in grocery stores were much different that actual crafted Grenadines. One could say the rest is history. I use Liber & Co’s syrups in cocktails, of course, but they are great ingredients to use when building mocktails.

One of the latest offerings is a bright tasting Lemon Lavender Cordial. Since New England’s version of spring is definitely not very “spring-like” these days, I took Liber & Co’s suggestion for this beautiful, 3-ingredient cocktail tonight. Hopefully it will inspire Mother Nature to get with the program and turn the corner on the dismal late-winter cold we’ve been experiencing.
