Because of these layers, each sip feels refreshing, bold, and perfectly balanced.
Garden Cordial Magic
The garden cordial is the heart of this recipe. Cilantro, parsley, mint, green bell pepper, and serrano chili are blended with agave nectar simple syrup to create a verdant, flavorful base. Meanwhile, ascorbic acid preserves the bright green color, ensuring the drink looks as lively as it tastes. In addition, straining twice guarantees a silky texture without any fibrous bits, resulting in a smooth, herbaceous finish.
