This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Edible flowers can be found in the produce section of most large grocery stores these days and are specifically labeled as being for culinary uses.

distilled water
unsprayed flower petals (edible variety, such as rose petals, borage, and violets)
Pour distilled water into an ice cube tray, filling the sections halfway full and freeze until firm.
Add your unsprayed flower petals (rose petals, borage, and violets are especially pretty when used this way), then cover with distilled water and freeze until completely hardened.
Use in your favorite beverages. The flower ice cubes are especially pretty when used in glasses of club soda or sparkling water.
NOTE: Flowers which have been sprayed with pesticides should NEVER be used for culinary purposes either as an ingredient in a recipe or as a garnish. NEVER give edible flowers to children or persons with compromised immune systems.
