Gin and Flower Bar
Every event or dinner party needs some sort of cocktail station. We love the idea of a gin bar, serving a few delicious, floral gin cocktails and having mini flower arrangements for guests to take home. Since gin and flowers go so well together, this station came together easily and looks so romantic!
How to Create a Gin and Flower Bar
Before guests arrive, pour the cocktails in the glasses. Serving a cocktail in a coup is a nice idea since you don’t need to worry about ice. Just shake the cocktail with ice, then strain into a coupe and garnish with a flower.
This recipe for this floral gin sipper is below. It’s made with blackberries, gin, lemon juice, and a homemade lavender simple syrup.
Gin Cocktail Recipes
Gin is a neutral spirit with a floral and or pine-like taste. There’s a touch of sweetness to it, but the drink itself isn’t very sweet. For this reason, people often choose to have it as part of a cocktail. It goes well with many ingredients and mixers and adds the perfect, fresh flavor to a cocktail. Here are some of our favorite gin recipes to serve:
- Rose Water Gin Cocktail
- Easy Gin and Jam Cocktail
- Lavender Gin and Tonic Punch
- Pretty Pink Gin Martini
- Easy Hibiscus Gin Sour

There is nothing better than arriving at a party and the cocktails are ready to grab! It’s the best way to welcome your guests!
Naturally Dyed Ice Cubes
For a charming touch, we added a pink hibiscus ice cube to the Whippet Cocktail. When it melts, the hot pink stays on the top and looks gorgeous! See how to make naturally dyed pink ice cubes here!
