PURPLE GIN COCO
What gives this cocktail its lovely lavender hue? The gin is infused with butterfly pea tea. This color can be achieved by squeezing a dropper of butterfly pea flower tea into a glass of clear liquid, which turns it blue; once an acid such as lime juice is added, voila! - violet. If turning your cocktails purple sounds laborious, you'll be pleased to know you can buy gin that is already infused with the color-changing ingredient. A popular bottle is Empress Gin, which is used here. This cocktail impresses guests beyond its looks, too, thanks to hints of toasted coconut, citrus, and juniper.
