Making Cocktails with Jardin Florale Shimmer Elixirs not only makes a beautiful, shimmering drink but it also adds great taste to a drink! These elixirs are made from real flowers...Rose, Lavender & Honeysuckle, three very versatile flavor profiles when it comes to making cocktails & mocktails, lemonades or seltzer water.
Each Elixir has such a subtle taste that it seems it wouldn't make a difference but it really can enhance your libation. Sometimes the elixirs can mellow a drink or add a flavor and sweetness that is hard to describe.
Jardin flower infusions are sugar-free flower extracts that are infused with flowers and botanicals, plus edible pearl shimmers. Made with flower blossoms from Europe, the bold colors are from fruits and vegetables, and they use a touch of organic wildflower honey for sweetness.
The Non-GMO pearl shimmer is a fun way to sparkle your drinks. Healthy and KETO friendly (1 carb). When you place it in a drink and stir it, the edible mica creates a shimmering "swirl" in your cocktail/mocktail that is just beautiful. A perfect summertime drink addition that elevates any party or gathering.
These are very popular for special events such as bridal parties, baby showers, birthdays,cookouts, Friday night drinks on the patio or any summer gathering where you want to make your guests feel special. Or maybe a special summertime drink just for you!
Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Preservative Free, Contains Organic Ingredients, 100% Natural, 100% Awesome!
Jardin complements all Spirits and will enhance their characterizing notes without overpowering their profile. We call this "Holistic Mixology" where the focus is on the premium spirit or beverage rather than the mixer. Let's look at how to use these.
There are so many ways to use the rose infusion and I could go on and on about it! I'll list some of Jardin's recipes below but one of my very favorites is using it in Rosé wine.
The very first time I tried it (and still a fav. of mine) was when I was developing some drinks for a class. I was making a Mocktail option for the class and I ended up adding it to our Sparkling Rosé NA wine. BAM! It was magic. I love this NA Rosé but I couldn't believe how just adding the rose infusion changed the drink into other worldly for me!
It took the rough edges off the wine and it added this amazing dance on my tongue...just transforming. Try this with other sparkling wines as well - white wines, prosecco and champagne with the honeysuckle is also fantastic.
If you're not sure where to start when using the rose flower infusion, here are some ideas on which alcohols work the best and what the tasting notes of the rose infusion are. Of course you can always turn these into mocktails with some simple ingredients like soda water, lemon juice, simple syrup and lemonade.
You can also make the "SImple Mixlogy" with NA Joyus Sparkling White Wine
Try Vodka Soda with 2 shots of Jardin Rose
This is another very versatile flower elixir since the flavor profile is so subtle and gentle on the tongue. Great with sweet drinks and Perfect in Champagne & Prosecco, with citrus drinks and of course any clear liquors.
