Notes
This recipe serves about 8-10 people. You can make the base (tequila, lemon, syrup) ahead of time and add soda just before serving.For a stronger lavender taste, add a few drops of food-grade lavender oil to the mix.To make it less sweet, use less simple syrup or add more lemon juice.For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila with more club soda or lemonade.
