How to Craft Herbal and Botanical Cocktails?
MOREHow-To Guide: Crafting Herbal and Botanical Cocktails
Ingredients:
- Fresh or dried herbs (mint, basil, rosemary, etc.)
- Botanical infusions (hibiscus tea, chamomile syrup, etc.)
- Citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges)
- Spirits (gin, vodka, tequila, etc.)
- Sweeteners (simple syrup, honey, agave nectar)
- Bitters
- Sparkling water (for non-alcoholic versions)
- Ice
- Garnishes (edible flowers, herb sprigs, citrus twists)
Instructions:
1. Select Your Herbs:
- Choose a variety of herbs based on your desired flavor profile. Fresh
herbs are preferable, but dried herbs can be used in moderation.
2. Prepare Botanical Infusions:
- Create botanical infusions by steeping ingredients like dried
flowers, spices, or fruits in hot water. Strain and cool before use.
3. Muddle Herbs:
- In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle fresh herbs to release their
flavors. Be cautious not to over-muddle, which can make the drink
bitter.
4. Add Spirits:
- Pour the chosen spirit into the
shaker. Gin, with its botanical notes, is a popular choice, but feel
free to experiment with other spirits.
5. Balance with Sweeteners and Citrus:
- Add sweeteners such as simple syrup or honey, and citrus juices to
balance the herbal flavors. Adjust the quantities to achieve the desired
taste.
6. Introduce Botanical Infusions:
- Incorporate
your prepared botanical infusions for added depth. Adjust the infusion
amount based on your preference for intensity.
7. Shake or Stir:
- Shake the ingredients vigorously with ice or stir gently, depending
on the cocktail. Shaking is ideal for drinks with fresh ingredients,
while stirring maintains clarity.
8. Strain and Serve:
-
Strain the cocktail into a glass filled with ice. This removes any herb
or botanical particles and ensures a smooth texture.
9. Garnish Creatively:
- Garnish your herbal cocktail with complementary elements. Edible
flowers, herb sprigs, or citrus twists add visual appeal and aromatic
complexity.
10. Enjoy Responsibly:
- Sip and savor your
carefully crafted herbal and botanical cocktail. Take note of the unique
flavors and aromas brought to life by the herbs and botanicals.
Experiment
with different combinations to discover your signature herbal cocktail.
Whether you're creating a refreshing summer drink or a cozy winter
warmer, the world of herbal cocktails offers endless possibilities for
creativity and enjoyment. Cheers!

Cola in general is a carbonated soft drink flavoured with vanilla,cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus oils and other flavourings and has been popular ever since it's invention by Pharmacist John Pemberton in 1886.
Cola gets it's name from the Kola Nut from which a Cola gets it's caffeine, the original recipe of Pemberton contained cocaine from coca leaves too, and was an non-alcoholic wine. Since it's invention the recipe has been closely guarded and yet replicated by many other brands of which, Pepsi Cola remain to be the major competition of Coca Cola invented and trade marked by Pemberton.
Cola being sweet and having a refreshing flavour profile that includes vanilla on top to a citrus taste with complex flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon and other very oriental herbs, it in itself is a great mixer for so many spirits. Best of course is the neutral Vodka but who doesn't want a Rom and Coca Cola? and have not heard the Andrew Sister's Song Rum and Coca Cola
Note: If you are one of those that are clinically dependent on Coca Cola or Cola in general and drink litres of Cola per day, the SodaStream Diet Cola will be a great alternative for you. It has less sugar and uses sucralose instead of aspartame used in Diet Cola. Each bottle makes 9 litres of Cola. Note that you need the Sodastream Sparkling Water Maker for this. But it's worth the money.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
