Spring Sting Nettle Cocktail

I love making herbal recipes and having a cocktail for happy hour.  So why not mix the two together


Nettle is an early spring plant that is packed full of vitamins and minerals, and while we highly recommend enjoying it throughout the day as an herbal tea, feel free to reserve a bit for a refreshing afternoon delight. Enjoy this recipe as either a cocktail or a mocktail over ice in a collins glass. “Reshared with permission by @herbalacademy” 

This excerpt comes from the Botanical Mixed Drinks Recipe Book. 

Ingredients

2 fl oz (60 mL) cooled nettle tea

2 fl oz (60 mL) vodka (omit for a mocktail and add an extra 4 fl oz (120 mL) of carbonated water)

1 fl oz (30 mL) ginger syrup

½ fl oz (15 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 fl oz (60 mL) carbonated water, chilled

Directions

Fill a collins glass half full with ice and set it aside.

To make a cocktail, combine the nettle tea, vodka, ginger syrup, and lemon juice in a glass canning jar. 

To make a mocktail, combine the nettle tea, ginger syrup, and lemon juice in a glass canning jar. 

Fill the jar ⅔ full of ice, cap, and shake hard for 20 seconds. Strain the liquid off the ice and into the collins glass. 

Top with chilled carbonated water and gently stir to combine.
