Lavender Bespoke Cocktail
The #PaletteForYourPalate Tea Cocktail Lavender Bespoke is Hospitality Manager Milos Vujovic’s creation, inspired by TEALEAVES Organic Earl Grey with Lavender + Pantone 7677C + Mood: Enchanted.
Notes from Milos Vujovic, Hospitality Manager at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort:
“The Lavender Bespoke cocktail is based on a lavender-infused gin, with Disaronno, ginger and almonds. Then, of course, an ounce of Organic Earl Grey with Lavender and a touch of acai to color it purple.”
