*I planned this drink originally with lavender simple syrup because a friend of mine loves making lavender simple syrup and she planned to make some. She didn't get around to making it, and I didn't get around to making the drink when I was with her, so I made it at home with my regular simple syrup and it was still good. 

*Made a second time with actual lavender simple syrup. It makes a world of difference actually.  Not bad with regular simple syrup - amazing with lavender simple syrup.
