Lemouroudji

The Lemouroudji is a refreshing cocktail that beautifully blends the vibrant flavors of fresh citrus with a hint of aromatic herbs. Typically featuring a base of premium vodka or gin, it is elevated by the addition of muddled mint and a splash of tonic, creating a light and invigorating drink perfect for warm evenings. Garnished with a twist of lemon and a sprig of mint, this cocktail is as visually appealing as it is delicious.
