Ocean’s Blessing

A transformative cocktail that captures the magic of the sea. Butterfly pea flower-infused rum creates a stunning blue base that dramatically shifts colors when citrus is added. Fresh clementine and key lime provide bright top notes, while coconut water adds subtle tropical depth. A sea salt and vanilla mist adds complexity and enhances the drink's ethereal nature.
