Alternate name: Floral AF. I don’t have too much to say here except I think you all know my goal with this cocktail. If you don’t, look at the pretty picture again and think about it. And the name. And the recipe. I will say that despite some of the more divisive ingredients, this actually turned out pretty damn tasty, if a little too floral, but hey, it’s springtime baby. Okay, okay, I’ll tell you the goal. YOU WANT CRAZY COLOR COCKTAILS AND I CAN AND WILL DELIVER SOMETIMES. CHEERS!!!

Editor's Note

Butterfly pea flower gin provides a striking violet hue, while lavender syrup and creme de violette layer deep floral aromatics into this vibrant, spring-inspired sour.
