SEATTLE — If you missed your chance to snag Mother's Day brunch reservations, have no fear! Volkan Temel, director of outlets for The Edgewater Hotel, shares his favorite springtime drinks to spoil the mom figures in your life.
Lavender Beret
Given the rich musical history at The Edgewater, the Lavender Beret was named as an homage to Prince, nodding to his song Raspberry Beret. This gin cocktail uses butterfly pea lavender syrup, which has a very distinctive purple color - hence the name. It also incorporates lemon and egg whites for a bright, frothy cocktail. It's as beautiful as it is tasty.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz Wilderton Lustre or Gin
- 1 oz butterfly pea lavender syrup
- 0.75 oz lemon juice
- 1 egg white/bitter
- Edible flower for garnish
Directions:
Pour the egg white into a shaker and shake on its own to get it frothy. Add the gin, butterfly pea lavender syrup, lemon and ice to the shaker and shake again. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with an edible flower.
Spring Fling
The Spring Fling harmonizes the popularity of mezcal with some heat from jalapeno and the bright acidity of lime. The mezcal, Malibu, jalapeno and lime are shaken and then strained into a coupe glass then topped with prosecco. It's refreshing, bright, spicy and savory.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz mezcal
- 0.5 oz Malibu
- 2 oz jalapeno
- 0.25 oz lime juice
- Splash of prosecco
Directions:
Combine mezcal, Malibu, jalapeno, and lime juice in a shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a coupe glass and top with a splash of prosecco.
'Syn Smash
The 'Syn Smash is named after the creator of the drink and team member Allisyn Cline. This delicious cocktail features Woodinville "The Six-Seven/Edgewater Hotel" Bourbon Barrel Selection, raspberry, basil, and lemon juice and is served in a coupe glass.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Woodinville 67 Private Label or preferred bourbon (if making at home)
- 0.5 oz raspberry puree
- 0.5 oz lime juice
- Basil leaf for garnish
Directions:
