Cocktails Herbs Seed Collection | Piccolo

Grow your own cocktail garnishes with three herb seed packets from Piccolo. Pick Moroccan spearmint for a classic mojito, add a red shiso leaf to a tall glass of soda or finish a summer spritz with a sprig of lemon balm.

A lovely little gift for someone who enjoys gardening as much as mixing drinks. All three herbs can be grown in pots, so a balcony or patio is plenty of space for a cocktail garden.

What’s inside

• Moroccan Spearmint – fresh, aromatic mint for muddling with lime and sugar in a mojito.
• Shiso Red and Green Mix – a mix of red and green shiso with a distinctive herbal flavour. Try a leaf in a citrus cocktail or use it as a colourful garnish.
• Lemon Balm Quedlinburger Niederliegende – lemon-scented leaves that bring a gentle citrus note to spritzes, iced tea and homemade lemonade.

Why we like it

• Three individual seed packets in one Piccolo gift pack.
• A mix of familiar mint and something a little more unusual to grow and taste.
• Just as much fun for someone who enjoys an alcohol-free cocktail.

Growing tip: Give the spearmint a pot of its own so it has room to spread without crowding the other herbs.
