Nymphaea Cocktail

This cocktail highlights the beautiful coloured water lilies used in Darwin Distilling Co.'s Darwin Gin, with the butterfly syrup giving the exact colour of the flowers that are picked, and the yellow garnish representing the stamen where the nectar is.

INGREDIENTS
- 45ml Darwin Gin 
- 15ml Butterfly Pea Syrup (DIY recipe below)
- 15ml fresh lemon juice
- 30ml lychee juice (syrup from tinned lychees works well too!)

GARNISH
- Edible yellow flowers

METHOD
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with edible flowers.

BUTTERFLY PEA SYRUP RECIPE
- 100g white sugar 
- 1/4 cup dried butterfly pea flowers
- 100ml water

It needed to be something for the collectors to add to their gin shelves and moreover, we had to make a product we were proud to share, and one delicious enough to get past our tasting panel!
