Lemon Balm in Cocktails

• Tasting Notes:
  When crushed the young leaves have a fresh, lingering, lemon scent and a mild lemon-mint flavor. The aroma is subtle and pleasant, and not as penetrating as that of lemon verbena or lemongrass.
• Combines well with:
  apples, apricots, melons, peaches, figs and summer berries
  
  
• Cocktail Recipe: Mount Balm Smash
