The Story Behind The Oh, Honey
Drag queen Trixie Mattel, to whom RuPaul reportedly once said, “You’re doing things no one has ever done — not even me,” inspired this bright, clever cocktail from The Laureate at San Francisco's Laurel Inn. It gets its color from butterfly pea flower-infused gin. (The bar opts for Beefeater.) If you have edible flowers on hand, they make a beautiful garnish.
