Here is the first in my Immune-Boosting Cocktails/Mocktails Series designed to increase your wellness while putting a smile on your face
Cheers!!
INGREDIENTS:
3-4 ounces freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice
1 ounce high-quality vodka or gin (I like Prairie Organic Crafted Spirits)
1 T honey-rosemary infused simple syrup
Splash of St. Germain (Elderflower)
Mineral water
Ice
GARNISH:
Rosemary sprig
Grapefruit wedge
METHOD:
In an iced cocktail shaker, shake all ingredients except mineral water. Strain into iced glass and top off with mineral water. Garnish with rosemary sprig.
Herb-Infused Simple Syrup:
Bring to a boil 1 cup water and 1 cup raw, organic honey stirring occassionally. Reduce heat to low and stir until honey is dissolved, reduced and thickened – about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add 4 rosemary sprigs and let herbs steep for at least 30 minutes while syrup cools. Remove herbs from syrup and pour through a fine mesh strainer into a glass mason jar. Infusion can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 month.
FOR A MOCKTAIL: Replace alcohol with more mineral water and replace St. Germain (Elderflower liqueur) with Elderflower syrup or cordial which are alcohol-free.
