Limitless Luxe Recipes

By Luke Arthur Wells @lukearthurwells, inspired by our Blooming Orchard scented candles.

"Yuzu juice was an obvious choice to represent Yuzu Blooms, super citrussy - like a mix between lemon and orange. To mix, I chose watermelon - not only because it complements the Yuzu but also makes the cocktail this great pink colour. To represent Magnolia, I chose some mint - something that mellows out the fruitiness of the other flavours, just as the magnolia does to these candle fragrances."

METHOD

1. Cut up your watermelon and put in a blender. It’s such a perfect colour match for the Melon & Pink Quartz candle.


2. Put ice in a tall glass and add a single shot of vodka, or the alcohol of your choice (or keep it virgin!)


3. Add a single measure (35ml) of yuzu juice to the glass.


4. Pour the watermelon juice into the glass. It should sit on top of the yuzu.

5. Grind some mint leaves up with a pestle and mortar - this will really release the flavour of the mint. Add a small amount of this ground mint into the glass.


6. Using a peeler, peel a small length of lemon skin for a garnish, and add to the top of your glass.

"And that’s it. Give your cocktail a stir to mix before drinking, but I like to serve it layered, just like the Trilogy candle from WoodWick®."
