Each Friday, Amanyara’s head mixologist will be sharing a selection of the resort’s favourite and curated cocktails. Last week they kicked off the weekend, with the Elderflower Spritz, made with fresh cucumber, grape fruit juice, lime juice, and elderflower liquor to elevate our spirits.
Also collaborating with their Wellness Immersion Manager, David Melladew, Amanyara shared a mocktail recipe that works towards boosting your immune system – the Amanyara Cooler; which includes fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice, soda and mint. The tartness of these flavours, assists to astringe fluid from the body and to cool the body down. Mint works towards soothing the liver and as result reduce stress.
