Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Chopin vodka
  • 3/4 ounce Saint Germain
  • 1/4 ounce Salers Aperitif
  • 1/4 ounce Aperol
  • 1/2 ounce lime juice
  • plash ginger beer

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients, with plain ice cubes, in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain over flower ice cubes. Top with a splash of ginger beer.
To make flower ice cubes
  1. In an ice mold, lay edible pansies and green buttons (see note). Gently pour water* over the flowers and freeze. Use plastic molds so the ice will be easier to remove.

Notes

  • Note from Amanda: For the clearest ice cubes, I like to use distilled water that I've boiled and cooled to room temperature. I also like to fill the trays incrementally, as described in the blog post above.
  • Edible Flowers: Be sure any flowers that you’re using are, indeed, edible varieties that are free from pesticides before using them to make ice cubes. People with asthma, allergies, or hay fever can have an adverse reaction to edible flowers–use with caution or omit if you have any concerns or are unsure of your guests’ sensitivities.
