Why isn't the drink purple?

Homemade lavender simple syrup actually has more of a yellow tint. The store bought version may be purple if you choose one that has food coloring in it. I don't like to add artificial coloring unless it's necessary, but you certainly have that option.

Is this lemonade sweet?

The recipe is not very sweet, but incredibly refreshing. If you want it sweeter, substitute all or most of the French lemon soda with Simply Lemonade.

Can I prep this ahead of time?

The French Soda will go flat. This recipe works best to make it right before serving.
