A Lavender Cocktail or Cock-up?

This evening my beloved talented husband Tony decided to make a lavender cocktail after thinking we have vodka (Always) and I kept a thing of lavender oil in MY bedroom (Yes I still want my own bedroom after almost a decade married, its my girlie space)
So when he asked how much lavender oil to use I wondered if he read the bottle for there some oils not safe to consume.....? Then after he squeezed all our lemons and shook up the martin shaker I smelled lavender clear across the house....(yes a bit strong) Then when he proudly served me the icy made cocktail he really looked so proud, I started to ask again if my essential oil was the type you can eat when the liquid hit my tongue and I KNEW this is NOT the drinking kind of lavender as it burned! gagging and floppy over for fresh water Tony was instantly disappointed and so much like a kid in a science fair with high hopes only to discover it was a flop. I was choking and laughing so hard as he realized while reading out loud in his "Larry David" ways "What!?! Says do not swallow...Are Not ALL oils edible?!? That's Stupid! Why would they make an oil you can't eat???" My nose still burned awhile later from the lavender DO NOT EAT kind of oil and we decided to skip cocktails all together after that!
