Mountain Orchard Raksi
Vibrant cocktail with Raksi whiskey and apple juice.

A touch of ginger liqueur adds a subtle spice, while a squeeze of lime elevates the flavors with a refreshing citrus lift. This drink honors the agricultural richness of Nepal’s orchards and the hospitality of its mountain villages.
