A vibrant yellow cocktail served in a stemmed glass with a tall, serrated green leaf garnish attached to the stem. The drink is presented on a dark wooden table alongside fresh jackfruit slices and a small glass jar of honey with a wooden dipper.

A gin-based cocktail, elegant, aromatic, and lightly sparkling. This serve is a French 75 riff built around tropical jackfruit notes, floral acacia honey, and a subtle herbal lift from Drambuie, finished with Prosecco for a crisp, celebratory texture. The inspiration comes from Michael Cheval’s surreal tribute, Lullaby of Uncle Magritte, where dreamy calm meets bright, celebratory contrast.
