Yields 1 8-oz cocktail

I grow nasturtiums both in porch pots and in our garden. My success, proven by the proliferation of peppery-flavored orange and yellow flowers, has inspired me to extend their utility to more applications beyond salads, garnishes or infused vinegars.

Super easy

2 Nasturtium Flowers, plus some for garnish
2 ounces Vodka
ounces Lemon Spice Syrup (recipe in edibleaustin.com database) or Simple Syrup
1 teaspoons St. Germain liqueur
Club Soda

Nasturtium Zinger Directions

Muddle the flowers with the vodka in a shaker.

Add ice, simple syrup and the St. Germain.

Shake and pour into a glass and top off with club soda.

Stir gently to incorporate the soda, then garnish with a flower and lemon twist.
