Moment of Zen

Take a break from the congestion of your daily life and embrace the calming indigo hue of this cocktail as you carve out your own Moment of Zen. A simple cocktail to assemble, methodical if you will, and transformative to a distant, peaceful state of mind. The Empress Butterfly Pea flower will help to open your crown chakra, inviting peace and satisfaction to your existence. The lemongrass syrup will further alter your mood, and carry you off to a distant and familiar memory. Namaste.
