Celebrate Mother’s Day with Chopin Vodka
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by creating something special with your loved ones? As a mom, I love getting my friends together to connect and chat, but of course, we love an activity attached. I decided to host an afternoon creating our own DIY flower bouquet paired with floral cocktails using Chopin Vodka. Whether you’re spending the day with your mom, grandmother, or cherished friends, these simple moments are sure to make Mother’s Day memorable.
Let’s start with the cocktails. I wanted to craft beautiful floral cocktails that were refreshing and elegant. We used Chopin Vodka because we appreciate the boutique flavor. No two moms are alike, so I provided options for which vodka they wanted to use. For our cocktails, we used Chopin Vodka Wheat Vodka, Potato Vodka, and Chopin Vodka Rye Vodka. The cocktails were distinctive and elevated.
When making these cocktails, I used:
Floral Cocktails with Chopin Vodka
1. Gather Your Ingredients: You’ll need Chopin Vodka, floral-infused syrups (such as lavender or rose), fresh herbs, edible flowers, and sparkling water.
2. Mix and Muddle: In a cocktail shaker, combine a shot of Chopin Vodka with a splash of floral syrup and a few sprigs of fresh herbs. Add ice and shake well.
3. Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top with sparkling water for a refreshing fizz.
4. Garnish with Elegance: Finish off your floral cocktail with a delicate garnish of edible flowers or a sprig of herbs for a sophisticated presentation.
5. Sip and Savor.
I am going to be honest, I love flowers for a number of reasons. Did you know studies have shown that being around flowers can help reduce stress levels and promote relaxation? The sight and smell of flowers can have a calming effect on the mind and body, leading to a decrease in cortisol levels, the stress hormone. And flowers have been found to have a positive impact on mood and emotional well-being. They can evoke feelings of happiness, joy, and contentment, making them effective mood boosters.
DIY Flower Bouquets
1. Gather Your Supplies: Start by collecting an assortment of fresh flowers, greenery, floral tape, scissors, and a vase or container.
2. Select Your Blooms: Choose a variety of flowers in different colors, shapes, and sizes to create visual interest.
3. Arrange with Care: Trim the stems of your flowers at an angle and remove any excess foliage. Begin arranging your blooms, layering different types and textures for a beautiful bouquet.
4. Secure with Floral Tape: Once you’re satisfied with your arrangement, wrap floral tape around the stems to hold everything together.
5. Enjoy.
This Mother’s Day, embrace creativity and connection by embarking on these delightful DIY adventures with your loved ones. Whether you’re crafting beautiful flower bouquets or mixing floral cocktails with Chopin Vodka, the memories you create will be cherished for years to come.
