Pansy Nectar Cocktail
Makes 1 Drink
The pansy nectar cocktail is a little bit sweet, a little bit fruity and very delicious.
We made a pansy simple syrup by grinding the whole flower (the stem bases & petals) with sugar to get the most of the pansies’ wintergreen-mint flavor.
Topping off this cocktail with a bit of prosecco (you’re free to use champagne or club soda if you prefer) adds a light effervescence, making this a great spring cocktail.
