Mixology Recipes
Summer Tisane
Notes from Chandra Lam Lucariello, Director of Mixology at Southern Wine & Spirits of Hawaii:
“This cocktail was meant to be a refreshing palate cleanser and also a twist on the Mojito. Taking cucumber-infused vodka, elderflower liqueur and instead of muddling mint, using the Peppermint Tea syrup. The ice cubes were also peppermint tea, and were meant to have edible flowers in them. I wanted to incorporate all of the flavors of summer into a glass, harmoniously.”
