The magic of Pea Flower Spirits that turn purple then Pink with only two mixers! #podcast

When mixed in cocktails with various ingredients the colors can change to purple (soda water) and pink (lime juice)! We made three cocktails showcasing this effect, as well as, layering with ginger ale to show the layering effect of these fun spirits. 🎇 🎉 🍸✨ 👏
