Buttercup flowers are a beloved ingredient among bartenders and creative home mixers thanks to their unique natural color pigments. In water, gin, or other light drinks, the flowers release an intense blue to purple color.

The most delightful effect is created when you add an acidic ingredient, such as lemon or lime juice. Due to the change in acidity, the color shifts from blue or purple to violet, pink, or fuchsia. This creates a spectacular play of colors directly in the glass.

The flowers themselves have a fairly soft, subtle flavor, making them excellent for adding color without strongly overpowering a cocktail.

Besides cocktails and mocktails, you can also use them for a striking caffeine-free herbal tea, as a natural coloring in syrups, or as a decorative element in culinary creations.

Usage tip:
For infusing gin, you can use approximately 30 to 50 flowers per liter, depending on the desired color intensity. Let it steep under controlled conditions and taste in between so that color and aroma remain nicely balanced.

For tea, a few flowers per cup are usually sufficient. Let them steep in hot water for a few minutes until the desired blue color is achieved.

Even more applications:
Also use blue butterfly pea flowers for mocktails, iced tea, colorful ice cubes, syrups, desserts, rice dishes, and natural food styling.
