5 Coastal Cocktails And Easy-To-Pack Snacks For Bento Box Aesthetics
Unique and understated, coastal cocktails are the well-suited options for a cocktail menu. Their use of seaside-inspired ingredients—coconut, soda, herbs, or even salt drops—creates clean flavours reminiscent of the ocean. Balance is key with these cocktails. Neither the sweetness nor the sourness should be too much in them. What’s making them trend right now? Their capacity to adapt to the present has made them popular recently.
These drinks are light and seasonal to go along with the trend of summer menus and themed events with much less sweet elements and prep. Try shaking or stirring with crushed ice, adding fruit infusions, or experimenting with different soda textures. The coastal cocktail emphasises contrast and clarity, in contrast to the tropical cocktail's sweet and fruity tastes. Get to know more about the cocktails and their pairings.
