Local Flight is a thrilling travel show that takes viewers on a captivating journey to some of the most exotic places on earth. And, in the third season, the show promises to be better than ever with a range of new destinations, fascinating landmarks, and mouth-watering cocktails.

In the first episode of this season, we explore the beautiful and luxurious city of Monaco, home to some of the world's most stunning landscapes. Monaco, the city-state on the Mediterranean coast, is well known for its affluent lifestyle. The episode showcases host Beau Du Bois exploring this incredibly beautiful city, and he starts off by taking us through Menton, a picturesque small town in France, located on the French-Italian border.

As we join Beau on his trip to Menton, we are introduced to a refreshing and signature lemon cocktail called the "Menton Lemon Cocktail." This cocktail features juicy lemons from the region, which are world-renowned and considered some of the finest lemons globally. The recipe of the Menton Lemon Cocktail is expertly crafted by local mixologist, Roberto, who explains that the drink infuses a blend of gin, vodka, sugar syrup, ice, and freshly squeezed lemons with a sprig of thyme.

Beau moves on to visit the local citrus groves, where the iconic lemon fruit is grown. With stunning views of the coastline, we see Beau harvest the beautiful lemons personally from the farm as he treats us to a fascinating history of the fruit and the region.

Next up, Beau takes us to a famous Monaco bar known for its signature cocktails, where he meets the bartender, Xavier, who amazes us with his mixology skills. He introduces Beau to their house signature cocktail, which features the much sought-after Menton lemons. As we sip on this refreshing cocktail, Beau and Xavier discuss their combined passion for mixology, the art of beverage making, and how they marvellously blend ingredients to create flavours that tantalise the taste buds.

After that, Beau proposes an unusual challenge to Xavier, asking him to create a cocktail that is inspired by the iconic Monaco Grand Prix. The Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula One motor racing event that takes place annually in Monaco on the Circuit de Monaco. Xavier readily accepts the challenge and comes up with a massively delicious cocktail that's a sure hit among locals and tourists alike.

As we enjoy the perfectly crafted cocktails, Beau takes us through the intricate process of creating the perfect drink without missing any critical details, from the type of glass used to the garnish that compliments the drink's flavour profile. The episode showcases the eventual creation of a well-crafted lemon cocktail that has a touch of exclusive ingredients that are synonymous with the region, and its luxurious lifestyle.

The episode wraps up with a montage of breathtaking views of the city that, with its glamourous lifestyle, leaves Beau and us in awe.
