Floral Cocktails by Lottie Muir

No longer the reserve of the cocktail garnish, flowers are taking center stage in the most delectable drinks. From a subtle rose petal vodka to a heady honeysuckle syrup, adding a floral liqueur, essence, or syrup to a cocktail adds a depth of flavor and complexity which will dazzle and delight. Lottie Muir, creator of The Midnight Apothecary pop-up cocktail bar, set in a roof garden in London, UK, has created over 40 ways to include edible blooms in drinks. Recipes include a Gorse Collins with a beautiful, delicate almond, and honey flavor and a Berried Treasure, inspired by a French 75, using Elderflower Liqueur to provide sweetness mixed with gin, lemon juice, and Champagne. From a sparkling Lavender Gin Fizz to a Hibiscus Mojito there’s a glorious cocktail for all budding mixologists!
