Marigold Muerte Drink
Report
Did you know that marigolds are edible flowers? Not just edible but delicious, with a zesty, citrus-like flavor. Since marigolds are the most common flower associated with Day of the Dead celebrations, it was the perfect flavor inspiration for our cocktail, the Marigold Muerte.This drink is incredibly smooth and tasty, so drink with caution. The citrus flavors from the marigolds pair perfectly with the Limoncello and crisp, light, Vinho Verde that has notes of lime. It doesn't taste nearly as strong as it actually is, so be warned; there's a reason I named this drink the Marigold Muerte (Marigold Death)!

Marigold Infused Simple Syrup:

Notes
- If you do not have marigolds growing in your garden purchase these edible flowers online.
