Fruity and sparkling spring cocktail
A beautifully vibrant cocktail for sharing a meal with friends and family. Whether as a tangy, sweet aperitif to whet the appetite, or as the perfect finale to a sumptuous meal. Created by Ayurvedic chef Frank Lotz for the winners of our Ayurvedic Health Day with Vaidya Kalyan from Bad Ems. Naturally alcohol-free and absolutely delicious.
Method
Pour 1–2 cl of pomegranate syrup into a cocktail glass. Add roughly the same amount of freshly squeezed orange juice and a pinch of finely chopped ginger. Meanwhile, mix together the elderflower lemonade (available from well-stocked drinks shops) and mineral water. Top up the cocktail glass with the elderflower and mineral water mixture and garnish the glass with a slice of orange.
If you’re making several cocktails at once, it’s best to start by pouring the syrup, orange juice and ginger into all the glasses. Then quickly top them all up with the lemonade and water mixture and serve. This gives the cocktails a delicately fizzy flavour.
