Fire and Ice (AKA The White Walker) Butterfly Pea Flower / Wild Hibiscus Cocktail

Glass Used: Collins Glass or Coupe

Recipe:

2 oz. Rutte Old Simon Genever
2 oz Pea Milk and Kumquat syrup
1 oz Lemon Juice
3 dash El Guapo Polynesian Kiss Bitters
2 oz G.H. Mumm Champagne

Combine Genever, Syrup, Lemon Juice and bitters ion to a mixing tin, add fresh ice and shake.  Double strain into a collins glass or flute and add G.H. Mumm Champagne.

Add blue ice cubes with Hibiscus flower frozen on to the top.

Garnish:

Garnished with Hibiscus Flower from Wild Hibiscus Flower Co. frozen onto a stack of 4 blue ice cubes( The ice cubes just have b'Lure Butterfly Pea Flower coloring in them, they are not to influence the flavor).

Inspiration:

The inspiration of this cocktail is the garnish itself, four blue cubes with a Candied Hibiscus flower frozen on the top cube. When dropped into the milky cocktail it creates my version of a Game of Thrones tribute! Winter is here!
