This Butterfly Pea Flower Gin Mule cocktail is exciting and tasty if you are looking for a drink that will impress. Its color-changing effects from the butterfly pea flower, lime, and ginger beer make it beautiful to serve. It perfectly infuses in gin within just 2 hours. I love making mules with gin in the wintertime because gin has such a “holiday” taste from the juniper berries it’s made with.

Butterfly Pea Flower Gin Mule
Cheers Folks!
I wanted to share with you this cocktail because it is so fun to make. Butterfly pea flowers not only look good but are good for you.
They are filled with antioxidants, so I decided to take advantage of that by infusing the gin used in this cocktail with it.
Then this is where the fun comes in…when acid is added to this ingredient, it goes from blue to purple in color.
Using it in a mule cocktail I figured would work great due to it already having lime juice (an acid) in it.
Then to make it even prettier, you can add Flower Ice Cubes for garnish.
This recipe is easy, so tasty, and great if you are looking for a presentation. We drink with our eyes first!
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz gin
- 1 tbsp butterfly pea flowers (dried, whole)
- 1 lime
- 8 oz ginger beer
- Flower ice cubes
Kitchen Tools
- Mason jars or Mule cocktail cups
- shot glass
- ice cube tray
- cocktail stirrers
- reusable straw
I love this cocktail because of how easy and beautiful it is!
It is a great crowd-pleaser if you are ever hosting a cocktail/dinner party.
If you plan on making flower ice cubes, all you need to do is buy edible flowers and use our recipe Flower Ice Cubes.
These ice cubes can be used for any cold drink so make a bunch and leave them in your freezer.
Enjoy folks!
