Recipe

Ingredients
-
50ml | 2oz Edi Spirited Euphoria*
- 40ml | 1.5oz strong chamomile tea infusion
- 20ml | 0.75oz honey water
- A spray of Orange Blossom Water*

Technique
Build

Glass
Coupe
(we love this one from Nude!)

Garnish
An edible flower & discarded lemon twist

Method
Having previously made your tea infusion & honey water (see notes below), pour your measured ingredient directly into a mixing glass with ice. Stir gently to chill, strain into your glass and spray once the orange blossom water. To make your discarded lemon twist garnish, use a potato peeler or a knife to slice off a piece of the peel and remove the pith (the white stuff) from the inside. Pointing the outside of the peel towards the cocktail, squeeze so the lemon oil sprays over your drink. Run it around the rim of the glass, but don’t put it in the cocktail. Finish with an edible flower. Sit back, take a sip & relax!

Home-made Ingredients

Strong Chamomile Tea Infusion:
Brew a cup of chamomile tea for an hour, allowing time to cool, and store in the fridge (it will last a week.)

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. 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 in flowers you are in contact with?

  2. Equal parts honey and hot water.

  3. Stir until you melt the honey.

  4. Keep the honey water in the fridge (it will last a week.)


Notes & Favourite Flavours

Edi Spirited Euphoria* tastes like fresh citrus & herbaceous hemp, with a pleasing bitterness. It’s followed by a wonderfully-layered balance of earthy tea and peppery spice, ending on a smooth woodiness.

Chamomile Tea creates a calming effect. It is naturally caffeine free and contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to certain receptors in your brain that may promote sleepiness and reduce insomnia.

Orange Blossom Water*, or orange flower water, is the clear aromatic by-product of the distillation of fresh bitter-orange blossoms for their essential oil. The taste is nuanced, with a subtle orange flavour that’s a bit lighter and more complex than orange extract.
