The Sapphire Siesta is a visually stunning cocktail that captures the relaxed vibe of a perfect afternoon. The gin provides a crisp, herbal base, complemented by the sweet, citrusy blue curaçao. Fresh lime juice adds a zesty punch, balancing the sweetness with its tartness, while the lavender syrup introduces a subtle floral note that elevates the drink. Topped with club soda, it becomes refreshingly effervescent. The edible silver glitter gives a playful sparkle, making each sip as exciting as it is delicious. Perfect for sipping slowly as you unwind.
