An incredibly refreshing cocktail with relatively low alcohol content, perfectly suitable before or after a meal.
Bitter artichoke notes take the centre stage here combining well with citrus and fragrance of mint. Meanwhile effervescence of grapefruit soda gives the cocktail an extra gentle kick lifting the various ingredients.
