The holidays bring with it plenty of festive cheer and treats in the form of spirits, wine, rich foods, and desserts. The indulgence can feed the soul and spirit, as we celebrate whatever it is we believe in.
To help you digest all of the holiday’s festivities, we’ve created a “Bitter’s Better” Cocktail, perfect for prepping your system before a meal or soothing and supporting it after. And the best part, in addition to helping your digestion – it tastes great too!
Bitter as a herbal action stimulates the secretion of digestive juices, increasing stomach acid and prepping the entire system to receive food and digest optimally. We have also included in the recipe some cardiovascular and heart tonics, as the heart plays an important role in digestion, working hard to fuel and transport the nutrients around the body, not to mention the role that food plays in how we share and show our affection and love to our friends and family.
Ingredients:
-1 oz. Canadian Whisky (or spirit of your choice)
-1/2 oz. Organic Cranberry Juice
-1 1/2 oz. Soda Water
-10 drops Gentian Tincture
-30 drops Bitter Orange Tincture
-40 drops Hawthorn Tincture
-40 drops Cinnamon Tincture
-Garnish of Orange Peal/Zest & Fresh Cranberries
Combine all ingredients over ice in festive glass and CHEERS!
Happy Holidays!
