Happy Holidays: Bitter Herbal Cocktail Recipe
Happy Holidays! We want to express our heartfelt THANK YOU for your support and being a part of our community. You mean the world to us. Wishing you peace, joy, and abundance in the year ahead.
To spread some holiday warmth, we thought we would share a herbal cocktail using traditional bitters. It's the perfect drink for the season, as it supports our digestion after all the holiday indulgence. We hope you enjoy it!
History of Bitters:
Traditionally, bitters have been used to support healthy digestion by stimulating the salivary glands to encourage the body’s natural digestive processes. Add a splash to your festive cocktails to help ease holiday bloat and that seasonal bulge.
Fun fact: Herbal bitters date back to ancient Egypt, where aromatic herbs were steeped in wine to create some of the earliest digestive tonics.
INGREDIENTS:
Sea salt
1.5 oz Blanco tequila
1 oz Fresh grapefruit juice
.5 oz Fresh lime juice
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
