Florena Butterfly Pea Gin (750Ml)

Description

Florena Butterfly Pea Gin is the gin that changes color in your glass. It comes from Armen's Barrels, an Armenian family distillery in Washington, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. The FLORENA line is named after Florena, the wife of founder Armen Geronian. The gin is USDA Organic certified and bottled at 40% ABV.

The color is the fun part. Poured neat, it shows a deep indigo. That shade comes from butterfly pea flower, which reacts to acid. Add tonic, lemonade, or citrus and it shifts to lavender or violet. A good squeeze of citrus pushes it toward rose.

Under the show, it is still a proper gin. The nose is led by juniper, with floral butterfly pea and a little citrus. On the palate you get juniper, soft floral notes, and a touch of earth. It feels smooth and well put together. The finish is clean and botanical.

The distillery shares a few easy drinks. For a Butterfly Pea G&T, pour two ounces over ice, top with tonic, and add a lime wheel. For a color-change martini, stir it with a little dry vermouth and finish with a lemon twist. Or mix it with fresh lemonade for a bright, purple Lavender Lemonade.

It goes well with light bites, seafood, and fresh salads. Florena Butterfly Pea gin is a great pick if you like hosting. Your friends get to watch the color change before they take the first sip.
