This is indeed a true crowd favorite, but it's a little-known fact it also works wonders in the bedroom.
If I remember correctly, this wonder herb, commonly known as Clitoria Ternatea is said to provide the male the 'strength of 1000 horses' and the stamina of a pack of sled dogs.
Extreme care, however, must be taken ingesting it, for there is a threshold (unfortunately, for males only). Too much (apprx 500ml per session) completely reverses its aphrodisiac powers, which can only be treated with prescription medication (Mycoxaphalin). If medication isn't available, a good 12hr sleep works the same, only a lot slower.
Ingest with care!

Re: The Blue Gin
Haven’t seen this thread before. Thanks, Expat, for posting it. It deserves two raps.
🎱 The struggle is real and this rabbit hole just got interesting.

Re: The Blue Gin
Enjoy man, cheers!

I make an extra blue version these days and it's equally excellent.

Very cool! Ordered my blossoms to give it a try!
+1 on Empress Gin. Not bad but can get much better for that price.

Re: The Blue Gin
Awesome read, thanks ton for sharing. Any other experiments like rose, hibiscus etc,,
Re: The Blue Gin
For added humour, find some methylene blue (pharmacy) and add that.
...shall we say, it carries the blue colour all the way through!
Haven't done the flowers but did turn some water pink when drawing ghost chillies smoke/vapour through a water-bong arrangement.
Can't imagine it would be too pleasant in a drink though.

Nothing like that so far really I once added s bit of rose water extract to a gin run to emulate a commercial bottle I'd tried. Otherwise nope.

Re: The Blue Gin
I have a infusion (herbal tea) which contains both poppy petals and cornflower. The resulting brew is a gorgeous purple and once I have a gin worth pimping I intend to add one or the other as an infusion.

Re: The Blue Gin
I've been wanting to make a blue rum and also mix in some of that edible glitter.
That stuff makes the drink all pearlescent and shiny, and then add in the pink color change and you'd have a drink the ladies (by ladies i mean my wife and friend's wives) would swoon for.

Re: The Blue Gin
I’ve tried rose petals infusion and it turns a nice pink but in my case, it faded over a few days. I’m going to try hibiscus soon.

Re: The Blue Gin
When I make ginger ale or beer, I add some cream of tartar to it which preserves color from lemon peels. I wonder if that can work here.
Re: The Blue Gin
Never seen any color change with the blue from pea blossom, so I wouldn't see any stabilizers required there.

Re: The Blue Gin
Interesting idea with the cream of tarter but I dont think I will go there right away.
-- Rrmuf
Re: The Blue Gin
I agree that the pea blossom blue sticks around. So, absolutely no need for stabilization there.

Re: The Blue Gin
What if anything do the pea flower blossom add to the gin?

Re: The Blue Gin
It adds zero flavor as far as I can tell.

Re: The Blue Gin
Thanks interesting. See it used and tea made from it also.. Definitely the ph shift is interesting and makes for a neat drink looks

Re: The Blue Gin
Yup agree, no flavor only cosmetic, but the wow factor on the color shift is significant.

Re: The Blue Gin
Yall think the color change is cool, you should try adding edible glitter to the drink.
I'm working on a name for it...
Unicorn Piss?
Stripper Sweat?

It's organic edible glitter made for drinks.
Besides, this one's for the ladies, not the fellas.

Re: The Blue Gin
Well I would think the glitter appeals to the same audience as a drink that turns from purplish blue to pink.bitter wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 9:27 amI get it just not in my house lol..
