Laurent owns a bar in Paris called “Mojito Lab” where he practices his passion in mixology.
“Sourced from a spring in south-west France, Perrier mineral water contains 7g of carbon dioxide, it brings out the flavours and highlight the ingredients in a cocktail. Often enough, Perrier was served with ice cubes and not giving it an opportunity to show us it’s flavour. The rightful way to serve a Perrier is chill it and with a slice yellow lemon.” – Laurent Greco.
“Perrier is a good energy drink without the effects of a sugar rush energy drinks give. It gives us energy rush because of the carbon dioxide rushes into our blood stream.” – Laurent Greco.
