That has to be one of the most unique both sounding and looking cocktails that I have seen. Also, never heard of butterfly pea flower, let alone what it tasted like. It does look quite exotic

For those who like cucumbers a very easy & tasty cocktail.
Mrs Willie & I enjoyed the Archangel last night during our home cocktail evening.
Instructions call for bruising cucumber, I mashed/muddled the cucumber as we both really enjoy cucumber.
A very easy drink to make

I had to go to 6 different places to find crushed/ shaved ice but glad I did. Mint Julep might be my new favorite drink.
the one on the right was my friend who was driving...bit watered down.

That's exactly what I did...made mint simple syrup the night before. Minty syrup is delicious. I never understood people paying for simple syrup when it is just water and sugar.

Last night I made a Boulevardier with cask strength bourbon, Cocchi vermouth, Campari, and a dash of orange bitters in lieu of the orange slice.
This was great - maybe the best cocktail I've had in a long time.
