A gin cocktail with a touch of magic and a hint of gold.
AU meaning gold, coming from the Latin word aurum. Papilio is Latin for Butterfly and there you go 🙂 The Au Papilio is a gin cocktail lightened with butterfly pea tea and sweetened with vanilla and gold leaf liqueur.

If you’re new to Licor Amor it’s a seductively smooth and decadent Vanilla Liqueur with gold leaf. Reduce simple syrup to taste. I’ve used a Silent Pool gin which pairs well with sweeter cocktails.
