Notes
The lavender simple syrup can be made ahead by combining equal parts sugar and water with 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then strain and cool.
Store the lavender syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For a mocktail version, replace tequila with additional club soda and a splash of lime juice.
The drink works best with silver (blanco) tequila to let the lavender and lime flavors shine through.
