Creating a liqueur garden in outdoor plant boxes is a delightful way to grow aromatic herbs and botanicals for homemade spirits and cocktails. Here are the best plants to cultivate for a garden-to-glass experience:

1. Mint – A must-have for mojitos and mint liqueurs, mint thrives in plant boxes and adds a refreshing flavor.

2. Lavender – Perfect for floral-infused liqueurs, lavender brings a soothing aroma and subtle sweetness.

3. Lemon Balm – This citrusy herb enhances limoncello and other citrus-based spirits.

4. Thyme – Ideal for herbal liqueurs, thyme adds earthy notes and pairs well with gin or vodka.

5. Basil – A versatile herb for savory or sweet liqueurs, basil offers a peppery kick.

For optimal growth, ensure your plant boxes have good drainage and receive ample sunlight. Rotate plants seasonally to keep your liqueur garden vibrant year-round. Happy gardening and mixing!
