We've had fun this past year trying new cocktails.  It started with the White Lady, which our family fell in love with.  Here is an article Eva wrote about it in the Free Times.

Pictured here is the Lusty Lady.  My sister started this by giving us a kit to make homemade gin for Christmas.  Very entertaining!  This recipe is adapted from the back of the bitters bottle.

Lusty Lady (for 4)

8 ounces gin
2 ounces lime juice
2 ounces unsweetened cranberry juice
Agave syrup --just enough to take     the edge off--try 1 teaspoon and then taste
Several shakes lavender bitters

Shake with ice and serve in martini glasses.
