Misty Lemongrass Serenade
The Misty Lemongrass Serenade is a vibrant and refreshing English-inspired cocktail blending herbal brightness of lemongrass with the zesty tartness of fresh lime and the subtle spicy warmth of ginger. Lemongrass has long been cherished in East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, and its incorporation into a Western cocktail introduces a beautifully exotic but balanced flavor profile. Honey provides natural sweetness harmonizing with lime’s acidic punch, while sparkling water lends effervescence that enlivens the drink. This cocktail is ideal for warm-weather gatherings or as a sophisticated non-alcoholic mocktail.

- Adjust honey quantity to suit your preferred sweetness.
- Strain the syrup well to keep the drink smooth.
- Garnish with mint leaves to add a cooling effect and aromatic lift.
- To make a spirited cocktail, consider adding a splash of gin or vodka.
