Silk Dragon combines floral elderflower syrup, fresh lime and muddled jalapeño with Alain Milliat Chardonnay Sparkling Grape Juice. The sparkling Chardonnay base brings delicate sweetness, bright acidity and fine bubbles, while the jalapeño adds a measured warmth to the drink’s crisp, aromatic finish. Alain Milliat’s Blanc de Blancs is an alcohol-free Chardonnay sparkling grape juice with tasting notes of roasted Mirabelle plum and heather honey.
