One sip worth trying is a cocktail inspired by Meghan Markle’s floral aesthetic. A drink called L’entente, served in royal circles, combines British gin, lemon curd, and French pastis with a garnish of dried flower petals like cornflowers and roses — the kind of floral touch that echoes the flower sprinkles Meghan’s lifestyle brand made popular and gives a cocktail an elegant, whimsical look.
The “Empress Lavender Haze” is a fun, floral drink inspired by Taylor Swift’s song Lavender Haze. It blends gin with lemonade and honey lavender syrup to create a two‑tone, herbaceous, floral cocktail that looks gorgeous and tastes refreshing — perfect for fans who want a drink that feels creative and stylish.
You can also take inspiration from classic floral‑inspired drinks often featured at upscale bars and brunch menus, like a rose‑petal Rosé Champagne & Floral Sprinkles Cocktail. This one mixes vodka, grapefruit juice, rosé brut, and simple syrup, then adds edible flower petals for a gorgeous presentation that feels celebratory and chic.
For something inspired by artisan cocktail trends, try building your own drink around elderflower and rose flavours, like an Elderflower Rose Gimlet — gin, elderflower liqueur, rose water, and lime juice, garnished with rose petals. The floral notes and bright citrus make it elegant and easy to pair with desserts or brunch.
Finally, you can always create flower‑infused seasonal cocktails — for example a Butterfly Pea Flower Mule or a hibiscus‑based spritz — that capture the creative mixology you see in luxury bars and celebrity events. Using edible flowers as garnishes or infusions not only adds color and aroma but also gives your cocktails a memorable, stylish twist.
