I once had these in a speakeasy in downtown Louisville, KY with a cocktail called "Acid Cat Spirit Guide." We ordered a round of them and all the guy said was, "eat the flower and drink the drink."

It was a pretty fun experience! The flower itself does not taste good—very grassy with an unpleasant texture—but the numbing effect was really fun, especially experienced as group.

Mcclellans Retreat in DC also does a cocktail with them. Cool to see that's a trend.
