I thought you all might like to try this for brunch this weekend; it’s not really a crazy hormone cocktail, but something I came up with for a women’s get together recently. It takes care of some of that lavender you probably have in the garden, looks good, and packs a punch. So: take a pint of raspberries, or use a cup of frozen ones, and add a big handful of lavender blossoms, 1/2 cup of Grand Marinier or orange liqueur, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and a Tb. or so of honey. Mix that all up in the blender, then strain it thru cheesecloth or a fine colander till you have no seeds and a bowlful of smooth pink stuff. Put a couple spoonfuls in the bottom of a champagne flute, fill it with Prosecco, and have fun. It’s pink, it’s fizzy, and it’s goooooood.
