Story about Lotus Flower Martini

Meet the Lotus Flower Martini, a blend of vibrant flavors that dances on the palate. This cocktail has got it all - from the daring bite of Absolut vodka, the floral notes of the violet liqueur, and the heady aroma of the lychee liqueur, to the exotic splash of blue curaçao. All these ingredients culminate in a sensational sip that's as delicate as the namesake flower itself.

Your typical martini, this ain't! The Lotus Flower Martini brings together a selection of ingredients that are asian-inspired. Key ingredients include the show-stopping edible flowers and a fresh mint leaf (now that's garden-fresh!). One can't forget the bold spirit of Absolut vodka making its presence known, blended harmoniously with the exoticism of hearty lychee liqueur, the floral touch of violet liqueur, and a dash of blue curacao for some tropical mystique.

FAQ
Q: Lotus Flowers: Fresh or dried? Are edible fresh lotus petals readily available, or should I use dried flowers or extracts for their concentrated flavor?
A: You certainly can use fresh lotus petals if they are readily available, and they would indeed lend an elegant touch. However, dried flowers or extracts can be a great alternative if fresh petals are hard to come by. They pack a concentrated flavor punch.

Q: Do I need a Lotus Flower, what are other editable flower options?
A: While the lotus flower is a lovely touch, it's not the only option for flower garnish. Other edible flowers like pansies, marigolds, or hibiscus could add a burst of color and personality to your drink.
