Lemongrass Mojito
As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the beach, there's a certain magic that unfolds. The air cools slightly, carrying the whispers of the ocean and the promise of a delightful evening. It's a moment that begs for a refreshing accompaniment, a touch of cool citrus to balance the day's warmth.

Inspired by the vibrant flavours of Thailand, this twist on the classic combines the zesty kick of lime with the subtle, aromatic depth of lemongrass. Imagine the first sip – a burst of cool refreshment that awakens your senses, followed by the gentle warmth of rum and the herbal whisper of lemongrass. It's the perfect complement to the chilled beats of our summer mix, transporting you to a state of complete relaxation as you lose yourself in the moment.
So, grab a glass, muddle some fresh ingredients, and allow this delightful mojito to be your passport to a world of serenity. Let the taste buds take flight as we embark on this delicious journey together.
