Ever since I saw the butterfly-pea flower infused gin “Empress” (and the price tag that went with it), I wanted to try to make my own pea flower infused gin and have some fun with how it changes with acidity. For those that aren’t aware the pea flower is a pH indicator which means that it changes color with pH. IT starts of with a deep blue at neutral pH and goes pink in acidic conditions ~pH 3. This allows for a beautful presentation where you start with a peaflower infused gin that is blue and as you mix in the tonic (built in glass) the drink progressively goes pinker and pinker with a nice ephemeral hue.
