While I’ll admit I’ve been too busy this week to try out any new cocktails…I did find this link on buzzfeed that has some super interesting and super fun drink recipes using an awesome variety of liquors and flavors. And…they all have flowers…I mean…fun…just fun!

In addition, I’ve included a list of common edible spring flowers below. None of these are hard to find. In fact, they might just be blossoming in your garden right now! It’s a great way to not only jazz up a cocktail but any food or drink for that matter! Sprinkled atop a fresh salad or floating in an iced tea – it’s sure to make a ordinary dish feel extraordinary! You can also make floral ice cubes for use in cocktails, mocktails, tea and water. Keep them ready in the freezer for the next time you have guests. Take your entertaining skills up a notch or just bask in your own little festive nature!
