Forest Pinen Tonic (Non-alcoholic)
A tart, clarifying drink that utilizes the woody and crisp notes of pinene.
Ingredients (for 1 glass):
- 150 ml high-quality tonic water (e.g., Dry Tonic)
- 40 ml non-alcoholic botanical spirit (juniper-based)
- 20 ml homemade rosemary syrup (boil 1:1 water/sugar with 2 sprigs of rosemary)
- 1 small sprig of fresh pine needles or spruce tips (well washed)
- Ice cubes
- 1 organic lemon zest
Preparation:
- Fill a long drink glass with ice cubes.
- Add the non-alcoholic spirit and rosemary syrup, then stir briefly.
- Gently pour in the cold tonic water to preserve the carbonation.
- Briefly clap the pine sprig between your palms (this activates the terpenes) and place it in the glass.
- Garnish and express the oils of the lemonpeel & zest over the drink.
- …and now – just enjoy!
