Mountain Queen, Mocktail & Cocktail

Written By Angela Bolt

Named after world record mountain climber, Lhakpa Sherpa (1973), also known as the mountain queen. this milk tea mocktail is made keeping in mind the history of milk tea and its Tibetan/Himalayan roots. Sherpa is a world-renowned Nepalese mountaineer who holds the record for the most successful female summits of Mount Everest, with 10 ascents. Cheers to the mountain queen, may her summits pave the path and mark the trail for the women who dream to climb!
