  • ~ Moody Blooms ~⁣ 🌺⁣ ⁣ Amy @moodymixologist queen of moody photography and exquisite garnish started a little drinkstagram community fun... called #garnishweek⁣ ⁣ This cocktail not only has elevated garnish (in more ways than one) but I’ve also put to good use the photography tips she’s shared. I’m by no means a pro in this department, but forever a willing student. This is a tribute to Amy.⁣ ⁣ 🌺⁣ ~ Moody Blooms ~⁣ 🌺⁣ ⁣ 50ml Tequila reposado⁣ 25ml lime juice⁣ 25ml Orange Liqueur⁣ Bar spoon Rose Water⁣ 20ml Hibiscus Syrup⁣ 2 dashes of Blossom Bitters⁣ ⁣ Shake tequila, liqueur, lime, rose water and bitters with ice. Fine strain.

  • ~ Countryside Chic ~⁣ 🌸⁣ ⁣ The Kentish countryside was showing off today with sunshine, the deepest blue sky and blooms everywhere. I love summer here. I also had a little reminder that when the daily madness catches you off guard, that there truly is ALWAYS something to be grateful for and so we enjoyed a walk after dinner amongst the farm fields, country lanes and hills to be grateful for our little family, our beautiful surroundings. How grounding it is to be in nature.⁣ ⁣ 🌸⁣ ~ Countryside Chic ~⁣ ⁣ What’s more chic than a pink drink at sundown?⁣ And garnished with a bloom picked by a friend from her garden and a little aromatic fresh mint - perfect for #garnishweek ⁣ ⁣ 20ml Dry Gin⁣ 20ml Pink Gin⁣ 20ml Lemoncello⁣ Top with Butterfly Pea Tea infused Sicilian Lemonade⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Keep it chic. Be grateful. Stay grounded. ⁣ 🌸⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 📸 🍸 © @forcocktailsake ⁣ #gin #gincocktail #signaturecocktails #garnishgame #summerdrinks
