Funk And Soul Cocktail
The funk and soul cocktail is a modern drink that focuses on layered tropical flavour - using fruit-forward liqueurs with supporting citrus elements to create a well-rounded blend. Recognised for its balance of ripe character and acidity, it is often presented with a textured garnish. The flavour profile of the drink is designed to bring complexity without relying on heavy ingredients while also being seasonal, combining a soft, fruity core with an underlying quirk that is often associated with overripe tropical notes or fermented fruit profiles.
