"Google told me lavender went well with black pepper and lemon, so here we are.
Though, it somehow ended up tasting like raspberry lemonade. Not at all in a bad way, just unexpected. Would love to hear a food scientist weigh in on the combo.

The Jardin is pretty light and not very sweet, so I made my sweetener (lemon zest syrup) relatively thick so as to not water the drink down too much.
