LYCHEE GOJI BELLINI BY VIVEK SINGH
For those with sophisticated taste, try this Lychee Goji Bellini from Chef Vivek Singh and his team at the Cinnamon Kitchen. As food blogger Snig’s Kitchen explains, “Delicately light and floral, lychee pairs perfectly with the Fair Goji Liqueur which is packed with vibrant red fruit flavours and a depth of richer herbal notes. The elegant, crisp Prosecco is dry enough to balance the drink and prevent it being overly sweet.”
