Delicate, floral and decidedly summery, Aria Smash is a non-alcoholic mocktail that reveals the full aromatic expression of Aria II in a fresh, contemporary and elegant creation. Inspired by moments spent by the water, this recipe plays on the balance between fruity brightness, botanical freshness and floral finesse.
At the heart of the recipe, Aria II, the zesty non-alcoholic drink opens with bright notes of lychee and red berries, which pair with the subtle sweetness of the raspberry syrup. Its floral heart of rose and white tea is naturally extended by a light touch of rose water, bringing delicacy and length on the palate. The fresh basil structures the whole with an elegant botanical freshness, while the lime juice highlights the zesty notes and the slightly spicy finish of Timut pepper.
Served over ice and enhanced with a floral garnish, Aria Smash offers a fresh, refined and intensely refreshing experience.
