Syrup should be completely cool before using and it could be made a day or two ahead and placed in the refrigerator.

To make the cocktail combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. pour into two martini glasses garnish with a sprig of lavender or a lemon curl and enjoy!
