Some cocktails speak loudly; others whisper with elegance. The Crystal Flora is a reimagined martini that doesn’t just refresh, it captivates. Built on the quiet complexity of Hendrick’s Gin and the citrus brilliance of Malfy Limone, this drink balances the floral with the frost, the zesty with the serene.
And unlike your standard martini, the Crystal Flora rests on a bed of crushed ice, turning a once-stiff classic into something far more alive and ephemeral. This is a drink that glows in the glass and cools like mountain air.

🌿 The Inspiration
The name “Crystal Flora” captures exactly what this cocktail delivers: botanical elegance preserved in ice. Hendrick’s brings in whispers of cucumber and rose, while Malfy’s Limone gin explodes with sunlit Amalfi lemon. Vermouth ties it all together with herbaceous balance, but it’s the crushed ice that refracts every flavor, lightening the intensity and heightening the refreshment.
It’s part martini, part snow globe, and entirely seductive.
