Combine all ingredients over ice in a shaker and shake gently for 30 seconds. This will make a thick, creamy cocktail without too much ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a piece of lavender floating on top.

Note: Lavender honey available in specialty stores or on-line at www.lavenderfarm.com. Boil one cup of water and slowly stir in 1 cup of lavender honey until dissolved. Lower heat and reduce for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Let cool and transfer into a squeeze bottle.
