About
The Lucid Garden is a cocktail mixlist built around botanicals, balance, and quiet complexity. Each drink explores the softer side of spirits - where floral notes, gentle sweetness, and herbal depth take center stage without overwhelming the palate. White rum and rye provide clean, structured bases, while elderflower, honey, lemon, and absinthe layer in aroma and intrigue.
This mixlist is designed for slower evenings, thoughtful pours, and conversations that don’t need volume. Nothing here is rushed or aggressive. Instead, the flavors unfold gradually, rewarding patience and attention. Whether you’re easing into the night or winding it down, The Lucid Garden offers cocktails that feel composed, elegant, and just a little dreamlike - a space where clarity and complexity quietly coexist.

TheMindMender
The Mind Mender is a cocktail built for mental clarity rather than intensity. Light, aromatic, and refreshingly clean, it brings together white rum, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lemon juice to create a drink that feels breezy and composed. The rum provides a soft, neutral base, while elderflower adds floral sweetness that smooths the edges without taking over. Lemon keeps everything sharp, bright, and focused.
TheWhiteFairy
The White Fairy is a cocktail that leans into intrigue. Pale, cloudy, and softly glowing in the glass, it looks gentle at first glance - but the flavor tells a more complex story. Built on white rum, this drink gives absinthe the space to express its herbal intensity without overpowering the palate. Fresh lemon juice adds clarity and lift, while honey syrup smooths everything into a velvety, lingering mouthfeel.
TheBotanicalBullet
The Botanical Bullet is a study in contrast. Built on rye whiskey, this cocktail opens with spice, heat, and structure - then softens dramatically as elderflower liqueur and lemon come into play. The result is a drink that moves fast on the palate, hitting with intensity up front before easing into something floral, clean, and surprisingly gentle.
TheLucidDream
The Lucid Dream is a cocktail that unfolds slowly. Nothing here hits all at once - instead, the flavors layer gently, drifting from honeyed warmth to soft florals and finally into a faint, almost whisper-like herbal depth. Built on white rum, the drink stays light and clean, allowing elderflower liqueur and honey syrup to shape the experience rather than overpower it.
