So we all know that lavender has natural botanical properties that support relaxation and healing, so it seems perfectly apropos to toss in some vodka and gin for a cocktail that will help you thoroughly ease into that weekend groove! This Lavender Martini (by, The Framed Table and ProFlowers) recipe has us searching our playlist for some Al Green easy listening!
Here’s what you need…
