Malacca Fizz

Influenced by the legendary spice trade routes of Southeast Asia, the MALACCA FIZZ is a cocktail that transports you to bustling markets filled with fragrant flowers, ripe tropical fruits, and warm ocean breezes. This drink merges the bright, herbal freshness of Gin Whaler with the delicate sweetness of lychee and elderflower liqueurs.

A splash of fresh lemon juice and smooth honey syrup provides the perfect balance between citrus and sweetness, while jasmine soda adds an elegant floral effervescence. The result? A cocktail that is light, refreshing, and full of aromatic complexity.
