The Lavender Spritzer • 1.5 oz Wild Moon Liqueurs Lavender • 2 lemon wedges • 2 mint leaves muddled • 4 oz club soda
In a Collins glass, muddle mint leaves and squeeze in lemon wedges. Add in Wild Moon Lavender. Add ice. Top with Club Soda and mix. Garnish with more mint or lavender fl owers.
While most raw materials are sourced locally, such as cucumbers from Glaston-
bury, CT, Hartford Flavor Company goes one step further by growing their own Lavender for their infusions. With a background in landscape design and botany, founder Lelaneia Dubay personally tends a patch of Lavender in Hartford’s West End, where stems, fl ow- ers and seeds are harvested for infusion throughout the summer and early fall.
“It feels great to know exactly where our Lavender is coming from. I can ensure
our Lavender is 100% organic, uncompromised by the harsh chemicals commonly used in the agriculture industry,” Dubay said. “I love splashing Lavender in my chamo- mile tea at the end of the day for a relaxing evening,” Dubay continued.
Wild Moon Lavender was awarded 93 points from Tasting Panel Magazine and
is the only Lavender liqueur on the market. All of the Wild Moon Liqueurs fl avors are found at most retailers around the state and are easy to use in simple mixed drinks, sophisticated cocktails, or as fl avor boosts in baking and cooking.
