Q: Leaked but is it safe?

Is it safe if it leaked? One person says "yes." I say, why consume it if you're unsure. That's the situation I'm in...... Bought and gave it as an xmas gift. When opened it had foam floating on top of the syrup. (Just a result of shipping and jostling?? Well, no.) The foam is still sitting at the top of the bottle days after it was set upright...... Took it to a bartender; nope, he's never seen syrup foam. .....Took it to a wine shop. Owner looks down at his wet hand and says there's a leak in the seam. (I DON'T see a leak, but the wine merchant definitely had syrup on his hand.) Nothing was ever poured from the bottle, yet there was a trace of syrup running down the side of it. But by far BEST OF ALL, Amazon says I can't return it. Dispute in progress.

Q: Is this made with lavender essential oil (as one of the natural flavors)?

It has all natural flavoring, whether from oils or from extracting by other means I don't know.. It has no artificial taste at all, highly recommended. We make a vodka lavender lemonade with it, yummy!
