“I love summer cocktails! Refreshing, effervescent fruity beverages that are low-ABV. In this one, I use Heidi’s Raspberry Lavender Jam, Lillet Rouge and Tonic water. As an option, you can also add a little sparkling wine or replace the tonic altogether using any sparkling beverage of your choice. Heidi’s Jam is lower in sugar using about ⅓ the amount that other jams have and also uses only certified organic ingredients including raspberries, strawberries, sugar, ginger, red chile, lavender, natural fruit pectin, and cane sugar. In this recipe, I use their Raspberry Lavender Jam which is perfect for a summertime sipper. When I first saw this jam at my local grocer and realized it was made in New Mexico, I immediately became a fan. I grew up in Albuquerque where the jam is made so it was a match in heaven! I hope you enjoy it!”
