For an alcohol-free version, why not try using hibiscus to infuse a watermelon drink. Mix with fresh watermelon, mint, sugar and lime for a refreshing summer drink. Try mixing it with tonic or sparkling water if you want a longer drink.

3. Violet Gin and Tonic

Our crystallised violet petals dissolve when mixed in the gin, so this recipe could not be easier. Simply add all the ingredients to the cocktail shaker, shake well and watch as your drink turns a vibrant blue.

3. Yuzu Margarita with Lime Fleur de Sel

Yuzu makes a great alternative to lime in this classic cocktail. You still get the strong citrus flavour but with a floral aroma. And the Madagascan fleur de sel is mixed with lime zest which adds an extra zing of flavour.

4. Funkin Peach Iced Tea
