Flower Frenzy
Add a nutritional boost to your cocktails by mixing and garnishing with edible flowers. Blooms like roses, hibiscus and lavender are attractive and add antioxidants to your latest creations.
Just a Rose
Rose petals are renowned for their use in many cocktails and rosewater brings a distinctive floral character to a drink. Just a drop will do it, too much will be overpowering. Make your own rose petal infusions by adding fresh or dried organic, pesticide free petals to a base spirit. Place a handful of petals in a wide-mouthed jar. Fill the jar with your spirit of choice and 1/4 cup of sugar. Store in a cool dark place for about a month. A slice of lemon will bring bright color to the darkened petals. Serve with ice or soda.
HendRick’S Gin
Actually made with rose petals, Hendrick’s is a natural partner for rosewater and rose petal garnishes. It’s a manly way for a guy to stop and smell the roses. Mix solo with just tonic water or in a martini sans vermouth. Garnish with a cucumber and some rose petals and savor the beautiful flavor bouquet or try Wild Hibiscus Flower Company’s wild hibiscus flowers preserved in rose syrup for an extra kick.
