Plant Lady Cocktail

We’re celebrating this weekend with a special cocktail I created for my friend’s birthday! With a passion for all things plants and a house full of tropical greens and ficus, I wanted to create an elixir to embody that Plant Lady lifestyle. A beautifully balanced cocktail, both herbal and floral in body, is an easy drink with the most alluring shade of green. Garnished with fresh mint, lavender and wax flowers for the perfect finish!
