Tasting Notes: This plant-based version on a tropical ceviche is a refreshing appetizer for a cocktail party on the patio. The creamy notes from the coconut milk draw in the heat from the serrano chili and highlight the sweetness and aroma from the lychees while keeping the cucumber freshness. SPLASH™ Cucumber Mint Margarita seltzer is the perfect pairing to cool down the heat and turn up the chill.
