2. Add to Shaker: In a cocktail shaker, pour in the lavender rich syrup, lavender extract, vodka, lemon juice, and triple sec. Make sure to measure accurately to maintain the intended flavor profile.

5. Strain and Serve: After shaking, use a cocktail strainer to pour the mixture into your chilled glasses, ensuring a smooth and frothy finish.
