Recipes for the most special cocktails this summer!
Make them with your favorite edible flowers! Rose, chamomile, elderberry - you choose!
Edible flowers are used as decoration for dishes, added to salads, and sauces. But why not use them as part of a cocktail? It will look gorgeous but it will also give a specific aroma to our cocktails. So take a walk to a nearby meadow or your own garden, pick a rose, chamomile, or elderberry, and - enjoy!
