An immune-boosting concoction to keep you healthy and happy
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 lime, freshly squeezed
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 ounce freshly-squeezed organic orange juice
2 ounces organic carrot juice (fresh pressed or bottled)
Bitters of choice (I like Scappy’s celery bitters in this one)
1 tsp rosemary-infused simple syrup (see recipe)
Ice
Sparkling mineral water
GARNISH:
Lime wedge
Rosemary sprig
METHOD:
Muddle grated ginger and lime juice in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add ice and all ingredients except mineral water and shake well. Strain into an iced cocktail glass of your choice and top off glass with mineral water. Garnish with lime wedge and rosemary sprig.
ROSEMARY-INFUSED SIMPLE SYRUP:
In a small pot, bring to a boil 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup raw, organic honey stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and stir until honey is dissolved, reduced and thickened – about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 rosemary sprigs and let 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.
