Home-made Ingredients
Honey Water
This is a great way to balance your cocktail without adding anything nasty or making it too sweet.
Pick a good quality of honey ideally something from your local famers. Did you know that eating honey that has been made in your area can help with allergies like hay fever as the bees have pollinated flowers you are in contact with?
Equal parts honey and hot water
Stir until you melt the honey
Keep the honey water in the fridge (it will last a week.)
Notes & Favourite Flavours
Everleaf MOUNTAIN* is low calorie, gluten free and vegan. It contains a blend of 12 sustainably sourced ingredients: cherry blossom, orris root, juniper, rosehip, strawberry, myrtle, everlasting, coriander, cherry, wormwood (A. absinthium), roman wormwood (A. pontica) and black carrot!
Verjus, meaning ‘green juice’, is made by pressing unripe grapes or other sour/young fruit to create an all-natural & highly acidic flavour. Originally used as a sour element in cooking when vinegar or wine were less readily available; its rich source of flavonoids and phenolic acids can stimulate the immune system, lower cholesterol, the incidence of strokes AND prevent liver inflammation. Its acidity is derived from the same source as wine so, while the pH is higher than both vinegar and lemon juice, verjus supports more delicate flavours. It is also naturally alcohol free! Experiment with its use instead of lemon or lime in mindful cocktails.
