Bring Some Beauty Into Your Mum’s Day With These Floral Cocktails
Whether you’re celebrating a mother, a wife, or just the idea of someone who deserves a bit of spoiling, floral drinks are a charming and delightfully warming way to say happy multiple times. From the mildly sweet and fragrant to the intensely floral, we teamed up with some beverage experts to get the best recipes for sipping this Mother’s Day.

Floral liqueurs are made from fragrant ingredients – violets, rose, lavender, elderflowers… – steeped to capture the flavour, essence, or scent. One fragrant addition can give a delicious drink an extra touch of luxury and finesse. In addition to bringing a beautiful hue, the scent of flowers can be used in a very decorative way in a cocktail. Here are 5 gorgeous floral cocktails for you to sip using floral liqueurs.
