With soft lavender and honey notes shining through Wyndridge Cider Co.’s Honey Lavender Cider, this cocktail is the perfect mix of apples, earthiness and juniper-forward gins. Fragrant herbs like lavender and fennel start their season late in spring and are an ideal match with sweet honey and crisp spring carrots. Wyndridge Cider Co. uses honey from raspberry apiaries, fresh lavender, and three delicious apple varieties: Jonagold, Stayman and Gold Rush. Their Honey Lavender Cider is a winter seasonal, so you may want to stock up for a fresh take on those soon-to-follow springtime mixers.![]()
