Moonlit Garden Mocktail

A Luxurious and Sustainable Non-Alcoholic Drink Experience

If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic drink that’s both sustainable and luxurious, look no further than the Moonlit Garden Mocktail. This exquisite beverage combines a variety of thoughtfully sourced ingredients to create a flavor profile that’s subtly sweet, sour, and refreshingly light.

The base of the Moonlit Garden Mocktail is crafted with rose petal syrup, strong lemongrass tea, and a splash of lemon juice, perfectly balanced with a pinch of salt. The drink is then topped with sparkling soda for a fizzy finish. Aesthetically, it’s elevated by blue ice spheres made from butterfly pea flower, which slowly infuse the drink with a beautiful gradient of color as they melt.

The finishing touch? A delicate garnish of citrus peel scraps and rose petals, paired with a sugared rim, adding both visual appeal and a hint of sweetness with each sip. The Moonlit Garden Mocktail not only delivers on taste but also promotes sustainability by incorporating elements like citrus peel scraps that would typically go to waste.

Its unique combination of flavors, visual appeal, and sustainable ingredients makes it a standout drink that’s sure to impress.
