Captain Nim's Award-Wining Cocktail Recipe

October 5, 2023

One of the most popular drinks in Israel is Limonana, it's a combination of lemonade and nana (mint in hebrew). When I started thinking about a winning #cocktail to prepare for the  Broker Show, I knew I wanted to create something unique that is a combination of my heritage and the #Caribbean, where I live now. In my opinion, this combination is perfect, and apparently the judges think so too...  

Here is the recipe for my cocktail, Limonana, which was awarded the 1st place at the 2019 BVI Charter Yacht Society Broker Boat Show.
