If you’ve spent a relaxed hour or two sipping expertly mixed drinks at your favourite cocktail bar recently, you’ll no doubt have been dazzled by a tempting array of options on the menu.
While there’s a huge trend for colourful cocktails, gone are the garish 80s-inspired neon-coloured tipples, and in their place are a new generation of sophisticated, subtly-coloured drinks that are delicious to the very last drop.
Incredibly popular at the moment, blue drinks usually require artificial colouring and ingredients to achieve their vibrant hue, but not so with b’Lure Colour Change Cocktail Concentrate.
Each bottle contains the extract from over 130 hand-picked butterfly pea flowers, and just a few drops added to clear drinks will turn them a fabulous shade of blue. So far so impressive.
But that’s not the end of the magic – squeeze in lime or lemon, or add some tonic water, and your drink will slowly shift shades to fabulous tones of purple and pink.
All this without affecting the taste of your drink – blue mojito, anyone?
