Holiday Cocktail Guide

December 22, 2015

The holidays are in full swing and Christmas is just around the corner. I know you have all been busy eating and drinking, and probably not taking as good of care of yourselves as usual, but here at House of Citrine we have concocted a few “Mindful Mixer” cocktail recipes that will keep you nourished for the rest of the season.

By fueling your body with supportive herbs, these elixirs not only feel good going down but are good for you, too. 

Holiday parties, whether with friends, family, or coworkers, are a time to get festive, enjoy good food, and indulge in a few delicious cocktails. If you're planning a get together this year, the right beverages can take the party from ho-ho-hum to unforgettable.

The right cocktail recipes will not only be a delicious addition to your evening, but they're a simple way to support makers of high quality, organic spirits. They could even spark a conversation about sustainability and the benefits of organic agriculture with the Ebenezer Scrooge of your group. 


Fresh Hibiscus and Organic Quinoa Vodka Martini

Ingredients:

·      ½ oz. Rosas Hibiscus

·      1.5 oz Fair Quinoa Vodka

·      Splash of Castle Rock Sparkling Water

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and shake for 10 seconds. Strain over fresh ice into Collins glass. Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint.


Pine Pollen Cocktail

Ingredients:

·      10 Drops of Surthrival Pine Pollen Pure Potency

·      ½ oz. Local Organic Honey

·      1.5 oz Fair Quinoa Vodka

·      2 oz. Castle Rock Sparkling Water

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients in a shaker over ice. Shake well, strain into a glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a twist of grapefruit peel, or a candied citrus rind.


The Peppered Pear

Ingredients:

·      1 1/2 oz. Farmer’s Botanical Organic Gin

·      10 Drops of Surthrival Pine Pollen Pure Potency

·      10 Drops of Surthrival Reishi Tincture

·      1 Organic Asian Pear

·      Black Peppercorns

·      3 shakes Black Bitters

 

For the soaked Asian Pear Garnish:

·      1 oz Fernet

·      1 oz Black Walnut Liqueur such as Lux Alpina Nocino

·      1 oz Black Bitters

·      Sliced Organic Asian pear

Twenty minutes before making the cocktail, thinly slice half of an Asian Pear. Place the pear slices into a shallow bowl containing all of the ingredients listed above. You can completely submerge the pear or gradually slide it into the concoction over time to create an ombré effect. The idea is to have the pear absorb the mixture of bitters and liqueurs. Black walnuts were historically used to dye fabrics, and we've used this idea to create a lovely colored garnish. It's also delicious!

Directions:

In a cocktail glass or martini shaker, muddle 2 pear wedges per cocktail, along with the black peppercorn until finely mashed. Add ice, gin, Pine syrup and bitters and shake very well to further pulverize the pear and peppercorn. Using a cocktail strainer, strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass, top with the soaked pear garnish, and enjoy!
