Botanical Cocktails
If you’re thinking about making some different cocktails for your Christmas party this year, then I might just have the perfect ideas for you here today.
You see herbs are a simple, yet effective way to garnish and compliment your cocktails and this infographic from Ness Gardens, not only shows some the best herbs to use with each spirit, but includes a roundup of recipes from a number of great bloggers.
If you are feeling particularly creative you could even set up a make your own stand at your party, print off some of these ideas, line them up with a number of spirits alongside bowls of fruit, herbs and different juices, then let people test and try not only the cocktail ideas you have shared, but some of their own. Not only would it make a great way to allow people to try new cocktails, but think of the talking point it would create.
What do you think of the idea of botanical cocktails, would you like to mix some up yourself?

I had never considered you could make tasty cocktails with herbs , I must admit the more fruity recipes appeal to me more from the sound of them but it would be quite fun to try all of them out you never know!. Thanks for an interesting and informative post.
So many options using herbs, and so many different tastes.
This blog post is bookmarked. What a great idea and the illustration is beautiful. I want to cut out alcohol at the moment as much as possible, but once I am drinking again this will come in really handy…
These sound great! I would love to try the Strawberry & Mint Smash! x
I looove cocktails – I like to think I look glamorous drinking them 😉 The Strawberry and Mint Smash sounds fab!
I’d have a go. Love a cocktail ❤️?
These cocktails sound delicious! I’m inspired to knock something up soon.
What a beautiful illustration – you can’t beat a good cocktail, yum!
Interesting guide. I had my eyes opened to botanicals recently on a foraging course.
This has inspired me to get creative with cocktails
That is such a pretty infographic, would look fab on the kitchen wall! I love a good cocktail, some lovely ideas here!
These cocktails look very classy and interesting. I had no idea that there were so many options for making cocktails.
I always think cocktails look (and sound) really nice but I never try any. I really should give them a whirl 🙂
