Floralia Gimlet | Cocktail Party

Floralia Gimlet

The Floralia Gimlet is the result of a collaboration between bartender Torrey Bell-Edwards at Honey in Brooklyn, NY and Arley Marks, founder of the Enlightenment Wines shop that carries Floralia mead, a local Brooklyn brand infused with lavender and herbs.

Even with a standard mead, the Floralia Gimlet is a gorgeous sour cocktail (albeit not really a Gimlet at all). Vodka is a brilliant choice for the base spirit, preserving the flavor of the mead while cutting its sweetness. And the combination of lemon juice with just a few drops of yuzu is delightful, imparting a fresh, herby note alongside the crispness of lemon. It’s a perfect drink to herald Spring, or just to use up a bottle of decent mead.

Great drinks-great app

Great cocktail app. Very good list of drinks that actually are well made and tasty. I have used other apps that just were overloaded with tons of junk drinks. It feels like the creators of this app actually enjoyed making the drinks and decided which were good enough to add to the list. Really appreciate the perpetual updates drinks listing too. Hate paying for things more than once.
