Everleaf Cocktails and Flower Crown Floristry

Everleaf partners with Forest plant stores to host flower-crown workshops, accompanied by Everleaf spritzes 

Everleaf, the award-winning, non-alcoholic aperitif brand, has partnered with Forest plant stores to invite cocktail lovers to connect with nature at a series of flower-filled creative workshops this July.

The events, hosted at Forest’s London venues, promise an evening of crafting beautiful dried flower crowns while enjoying non-alcoholic Everleaf spritzes. With sustainability at the heart of its ethos, dried flowers have been specially selected to prolong the longevity of the flower crowns, meaning they can be enjoyed throughout the summer. Everleaf will be donating all proceeds from the ticket sales to the brand’s charity partner – Plantlife.

Last night Onin.London attended the press preview and we absolutely had the best time. I’m not currently drinking alcohol so it was great to try some non-alcoholic cocktails that didn’t just taste like juice!

Our crowns were gorgeous and I can’t wait to find an occasion to wear it. I’m sure I could convince my friends to do a photoshoot with me. My creation is pictured below and I’m pretty impressed with my efforts. I must admit I did have a little help in making sure it was perfection.

The workshops – taking place on 24th July at Forest Dulwich and 31st July at Forest Deptford – will celebrate the beauty of the natural world with a workshop in dried flower-crown making, accompanied by a multi-sensory tasting experience, featuring Everleaf non-alcoholic aperitif in summer spritzes. Inspired by the best bars’ cocktails, guests will enjoy two different spritzes; Everleaf Forest Passionfruit & Ginger and Everleaf Forest Blood Orange and Saffron. Evocative of sun-streaked forest floors, Everleaf Forest is a bittersweet blend of sustainably sourced botanicals – each chosen for its unique aroma and taste profile. 

In addition to the workshops, Forest will retail a limited-edition bundle, featuring a dried flower bouquet alongside a bottle of Everleaf Forest. Available at both the Deptford and Dulwich Forest plant stores, the bundle will retail at £50 and include a seasonal bouquet of dried flowers alongside a 50cl bottle of Everleaf Forest. A donation of £5 per bundle will also be made to Plantlife.

Founded by bar owner and conservation biologist Paul Mathew, Everleaf’s mission is to connect its drinkers with the natural world through ingredients sourced and blended in collaboration with nature. 

Available in three expressions, Everleaf Forest, Everleaf Mountain, and Everleaf Marine (RRP £22/50cl)—each anchored to a different place in the natural world—Everleaf makes non-alcoholic cocktails taste great and transport your senses to forest canopies, mountaintops, and wild blue seas. 

Forest, launched in 2013, is a family-run business with stores in Deptford and East Dulwich in London, specialising in house plants, cut flowers and lifestyle products.

The workshops will take place from 6.30pm to 8pm on 24th July at Forest Dulwich and 31st July at Forest in Deptford. Tickets, available via the Forest website, are £35 per person and include everything you need to create your flower crown, two non-alcoholic Everleaf spritzes and a selection of delicious summer canapés. All proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to Everleaf’s charity partner – Plantlife.
