Secret Garden Gin & Tonic

We love this colorful rendition of the standard Gin & Tonic using Butterfly Pea Flower Gin and decorating with the magic of our Secret Garden Sugar Dust!

Ingredients:

5 oz Tonic Water 

*2 oz Butterfly Pea Flower Gin (I use @empress1908gin )

1 oz Citrus Juice (lemon, lime, Meyer lemon, key lime, orange, etc.)

1/4 tsp of Secret Garden Sugar Dust 

For the most beautiful assembly: start with filling the glass with ice, then add the Secret Garden Sugar Dust. Pour the gin over the ice, and top with tonic (to 3/4 full). Finish with lemon...which will create a natural chemical reaction that changes the color of the drink from blue to magenta. When you assemble it like this, the glass will have 2 different colors and the gradient colors. Suspended in the liquid are colorful edible flowers, that add an additional pop of color!

If you don't have Butterfly Pea Gin...

Option 1: use your favorite gin instead! It won't be purple/blue, but it will still be delicious!

Option 2: infuse your own gin with some Butterfly Pea Flower yourself. To do this add 1 Tbsp of Butterfly Pea Flower to 7-8 oz of gin. Let infuse for several hours to a few weeks. The longer it sits, the bluer it gets!
