The Provencal Sour is a fine Spring cocktail and quite easy to make yourself! Staying true to the craft cocktail tradition, we want to keep away from colored additives, mixers and store-bought syrups. Practice your cool bartending skills, follow the directions using the 4 simple ingredients listed here, and you’ll have a sweet, fragrant taste of spring with a kick of bourbon.

Lavender Syrup
Add equal parts water and syrup in a small pot with a handful of dried lavender petals. Bring to boil, simmer a few minutes. Allow to cool, then strain through a mesh sieve into a glass container. You will have enough for several recipes, so keep it in the fridge in an airtight container.
