Velvety, Herbal, Tangy



A velvety, fruity-tangy cocktail with tangy yogurt richness, softened by milk and lifted by honeyed, earthy notes. Lemon juice adds brightness and balance, cutting through the velvety texture. Smooth yet subtly tannic, with vodka providing gentle warmth, it finishes refreshing, reminiscent of a peach lassi with herbal sophistication.
