Recipe-calculated. For a sugar-and-water solution the nutrition is essentially its sugar content, so calculation is an accepted basis, but it is not a laboratory analysis and we do not present it as one.
It is a syrup, and it is mostly sugar.
Twenty-six grams of sugar in a 30 mL serving is 26% of a day's value. That is high, and the bottle carries Health Canada's front-of-package "High in sugars / Élevé en sucres" symbol because of it.
We would rather say that plainly here than have you find it on the back of the bottle. A cocktail syrup is sugar and water with something beautiful steeped through it. Ours is lavender we grew. It is not a health food and we are not going to dress it up as one.
The serving is a bar measure, not a glassful. Two tablespoons builds a full drink.
Full specification
Each figure with how we know it. Where we have not put an instrument on something yet, it says so.
Two figures are calculated rather than measured, and are marked. A refractometer and a pH meter close both on the first production batch. We will update this page with the readings rather than quietly leaving the estimates in place.
