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.

TEALEAVES’ and Pantone Color Institute’s #PaletteForYourPalate is a first-of-its-kind collaboration where 10 iconic tea blends serve as muse to over 30 world-class chefs and mixologists.

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.”
