Floral (General)

Floral
SpringUsed in ~37 drinks

A broad aromatic category encompassing the perfumed, petal-like qualities found across many spirits, liqueurs, and modifiers. General floral notes range from the heady sweetness of jasmine and gardenia to the austere dryness of chamomile and dried heather. In cocktails, floral character adds a layer of aromatic complexity that elevates simple sours and spritzes into something memorable.

Aroma

The nose conjures a garden in bloom — white flowers, violet, and sometimes a dusky, musky quality that suggests dried petals and potpourri rather than fresh-cut stems.
