Summer Sunset - Cocktail With Edible Flowers

In this floral gin-based drink, fresh lime juice and orchid contrasts the infused hibiscus rosemary syrup beautifully, both visually and on the palate.

Adding edible flowers to drinks is guaranteed to transform them from boring to extraordinary. Some favorites are lavender, rose, hibiscus and orchid. Not only do they make cocktails beautiful, they add a subtle floral flavor that makes the drinks taste as good as they look, like for instance the Summer Sunset, from Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.

In this floral gin-based drink, fresh lime juice and orchid contrasts the infused hibiscus rosemary syrup beautifully, both visually and on the palate. “The Summer Sunset features edible flowers specifically an orchid that is emulsified with water and sugar to complement a gin infusion with an edible flower garnish. Hibiscus adds a refreshing flavor while a lavender stalk adds height and the purple hues in the flowers make the color really pop. Not only is this cocktail striking, it stimulates all the senses.” says Janluis Delgado, F&B, Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.
