Rakomelo Strawberry Smash

Rakomelo Strawberry Smash

As you take your first sip, your palate will be delighted with the sweet, floral notes of the Rakomelo, followed by the burst of juicy strawberries. The delicate balance of flavors is further enhanced by the tartness of combining lemon and lime which adds a refreshing zing to this delightful libation.

This cocktail is not only delicious but also visually stunning, with the vibrant red of the strawberries beautifully complementing the golden color of the Rakomelo. Served over crushed ice, it's the perfect thirst quencher on a warm Spring or Summer day.
