Home-Made Ingredients

Turmeric Honey Water:

Honey water is a great way to balance your cocktail without adding anything nasty or making it too sweet.

  1. Pick a good quality of honey ideally something from your local famers and make sure it’s raw honey so it hasn’t been cooked. 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?

  2. Equal parts honey and hot water.

  3. Stir until you melt the honey.

  4. Add half a teaspoon of Turmeric.

  5. Pinch of Black Pepper.

  6. Half teaspoon of coconut oil.

  7. Keep the honey water in the fridge (it will last a week or more.)

Nettle Tincture:

  1. Put a handful of dry nettles into 100ml of high proof spirit.

  2. Let in infuse for a couple of weeks in the cool and dark place.

  3. Strain into a dasher bottle.

  4. Dash away, (it keeps for a long time!)


Notes & Favourite Flavours

Avallen Calvados* is a calvados and is the world's most environmentally positive spirit: made from nothing but apples, water and time. The brand is on a mission to bring back a traditional spirit- Calvados, support local famers of Normandy France- with over 30 apple varieties in every bottle, and save the bees, who are essential for our planet. Bee-ing positive never tasted this delicious.

Ms. Better’s Bitters Miraculous Foamer* is the perfect egg white replacement to make your cocktail foamy!

Turmeric is an amazing anti-inflammatory and powerful antioxidant. By adding a touch of black pepper and coconut oil you are making it more bio-available for the body.

Nettle is a wonderful plant with cleansing properties that helps detoxify the liver. Great in a cocktail with a little bit of alcohol as it can help the liver with processing it!

Chamomile is also an anti-inflammatory and is really relaxing and soothing. This is often what you are after when having a drink, a moment to relax.
