Mountain Muse
A refreshing cocktail with Raksi whiskey and ginger juice.
Inspired by the crisp mountain air and the warmth of home-cooked traditions, the Mountain Muse is a spirited fusion of Raksi whiskey, freshly pressed ginger juice, and simple syrup. This cocktail offers a bold kick of spicy ginger, mellowed by the smooth earthiness of millet-based whiskey and sweetened just enough to entice the palate. It’s the perfect celebration of both heritage and innovation.
