Nutmeg & Ginger Lychee Martini

Nutmeg, such a ubiquitous yet understated spice. Often reserved for festive bakes, it is underused in the drink’s realm. Combined with the kick of ginger and sweetness of fresh lychee, it is a nod to its Malaysian heritage and pairs so beautifully in this elegant serve. One for special occasions, this is a refined sip love by everyone.
