Silver Surf’s Paradox

Description: Inspired by ocean breezes and the mesmerizing shimmer of the sea, this cocktail combines Captain Morgan Silver Rum with rare tropical flavors and a hint of savory complexity. A touch of coconut water enhances the crispness, while lemongrass syrup and blue spirulina bring vibrant color and a subtle earthiness.
