Ghoul’s Gin Gimlet

A classic cocktail gets a ghostly twist — bright, citrusy, and eerily elegant. The crisp botanical notes of gin pair perfectly with tart lime and a touch of sweetness, while the optional butterfly pea flower tea adds a haunting color-changing effect. It’s a bewitching balance of sophistication and supernatural flair.
