COCKTAIL TRENDS IN 2024: BETWEEN INNOVATION AND UNIQUE FLAVORS

In 2024, the world of cocktails is making a remarkable return to basics, with a growing interest in natural ingredients and pure flavors. Fresh herbs are no longer relegated to the role of simple decoration; they are now at the heart of cocktail creation.

The Green Twist Margarita is a perfect example. This cocktail revisits the classic margarita by adding a green touch: a homemade basil syrup which brings freshness and aromatic depth. The key is the subtle balance between the sweetness of the syrup and the acidity of the lime, creating a cocktail that is both refreshing and complex.
