Tips to enhance the presentation of a cocktail using edible flowers

  • Float petals on the surface: Gently place a few vibrant petals on top of the drink for a delicate, elegant touch.
  • Freeze petals in ice cubes: Add visual interest by freezing small petals inside ice cubes for a striking effect as they melt.
  • Garnish the rim: Lightly press petals onto the rim of the glass using simple syrup or honey to create a beautiful floral border.
  • Create petal-infused syrups: Infuse edible petals like elderflowers or roses into simple syrup to add both color and flavor to your cocktails.
  • Layer petals in a punch bowl: For large batches, sprinkle petals across the surface of a punch or pitcher cocktail to add a fresh, colorful look. 
  • Use petal powder: Ground, freeze-dried petals can be dusted on the surface or rim for a subtle floral touch.
  • Skewer petals as garnish: Thread petals through cocktail picks along with fruits or herbs for a chic and balanced garnish
