Garibaldi (Non Alcoholic)

IA two ingredient NA cocktail?? Yep, it’s possible AND it’s delicious.
.
The GARIBALDI the signature cocktail over at @dantenewyorkcity but with my friends at @ritualzeroproof, I wanted to make a #NoABV version with their new NA Aperitif. The key to this cocktail is the texture, the frothiness in vigorously shaking or frothing orange juice brings a light and fluffy mouthfeel to this simple recipe. Its a great mix of bitter, citrusy and this new Ritual Aperitif didn’t disappoint, its got familiar notes of bitter, citrus and even adds a bit of a kick that you won’t normally find in other NA spirits.

Cheers y’all

Peppered Strawberry Shrub

So its spring… and you’re stuck at home with a bunch of fresh berries in the fridge and all this time… why not make a homemade shrub? If you’ve never heard of a shrub, its a decades-old way of preserving fresh fruit by macerating it in sugar, then adding vinegar to extend the lifespan - the end result being a sweet, sour and fruity syrup. The cool part about it is it doesn’t have to contain alcohol and makes for an amazing mocktail for those of you who just want a refreshing beverage to drink at home during the day.

We may have bought almost too many strawberries at @ambrosefamilyfarm the other week and had the idea to turn these vine-ripened strawberries into a black pepper/strawberry shrub for a balance of sweet, spicy, sour and fruity. Now the fun part is taking this syrup and creating a cocktail out of it. I used @hendricksgin because of the cucumber notes, then added our black pepper/strawberry shrub syrup, lime and mint to create a refreshing springtime drink you can make at home.
