    Notes

    This recipe serves one. It can be easily doubled or tripled for a group.
    Make the lavender syrup in advance to save time. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks.
    For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with more club soda or lemon-lime soda.
    Experiment with different herb garnishes like mint or basil for variety.
    Serve in chilled glasses for an extra-refreshing drink. This cocktail pairs well with light appetizers or grilled dishes.
