Rise & Shine

Who says brunch cocktails are limited to mimosas?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There are so many ingredients than lend themselves wonderfully to early day sipping. Turmeric has been gaining a foothold in the cocktail world for a few years. The health benefits of turmeric are well known. It contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Why not drink something healthy(ish) with your weekend celebrations?

I grated/zested the turmeric directly into the cocktail to ensure the health benefits are intact. Adding fresh orange zest, honey, lemon juice and ghost pepper for a kick! It’s a bright and light cocktail that will start your weekend off right!⠀⠀⠀⠀

Rise & Shine

• .5 teaspoon micro grated turmeric

Shake over ice for 45 seconds and pour into Collins glass with ice. Do not strain out the zest. Top with sparkling water if you want bubbles.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Whether you are approaching brunch with a “hair-of-the-dog” mindset from a long night of fun or a “relaxing-with-friends”mindset this healthy-ish turmeric based cocktail is a perfect addition. .

turmeric is related to ginger and grown primarily in Asia and India. It's what gives curry it's yellow color.
