Edible Flower Cocktails!

Summer cocktails were the inspiration behind our Summer bouquets. For those who enjoy a cocktail, we've shown how you can decorate your cocktails with some edible flowers.

Cocktails are a famous drink among the majority of adults; it’s always a popular order on a weekend! But sometimes, the same old cocktail can get a bit boring on the taste buds, it’s great to try new tastes and flavours. As well as their delicious tastes, cocktails are great for a visual effect, the bright colours and unique looks are always captured with the phone! However, Appleyard wants to bring something different to your table, some edible flower cocktails that can be easily made! So, get your ingredients together and make!
