This drink is an excellent option if you need some help calming your nerves or want some support to get you through the busy days that come with the end of the year. The combination of elderberries in the Switchel and chamomile in the Rest and Calm tastes great and can help with the anxiousness that can come with this busy time. Adding the cinnamon maple syrup gives this drink a delicious festive feeling. It also happens to pair really well with gin.

Liver Bitters Spritzer

 

 

Fire Cider Hot Toddy

Switchel

Another really easy summer drink that's non-alcoholic - so easy in fact we can hardly call it a herbal cocktail recipe. Adding a dash of Switchel to soda water or tonic water with mint and some sliced oranges is a delicious and healthy low sugar sweet treat. You can add gin or vodka if you want to make it alcoholic.

15ml simple syrup
60ml grapefruit soda

Mix together and drink.
