I have had a surplus of the lavender simple syrup I made weeks ago without knowing what to do with it, until a local bartender recommended a recipe for a delicious herbal cocktail. It’s very close to a Tom Collins, so I think I will call it Lady Collins, until I am corrected. It really has an amazing flavor.

Lady Collins
+ 3 oz Caprock Gin
+ 1/4 - 1/2 oz lavender simple syrup
+ the juice of 3 or 4 lemon slices
+ sprig or 2 of rosemary
Toss all ingredients into a shaker, shake and strain, garnish with rosemary.
