1pt Fireside Fizz Recipe

1pt Fireside Fizz
The Fireside Fizz is a refreshing, citrus-forward cocktail that captures the cozy comfort of a fireside evening. Infused with lemongrass, ginger, and a touch of lemon verbena, this effervescent blend delivers bright citrus notes alongside sparkling cider. Perfect for easy batching, it's the kind of cocktail that suits a wide range of gatherings.

STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion

Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Citrus Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of Gin in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 4-5 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)

1pt Citrus Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Lemongrass, Ginger, Lemon Verbena, Yerba Mate, Marigold Petals - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives

STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink

Mixing Instructions:
Reserve sparkling cider and combine all other ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass over ice. Top with sparkling apple cider. For batching, do not shake. Instead, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 2 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.

Garnish:
Garnish with a lemon twist and a sprig of fresh thyme for an aromatic finish.

STEP 3 - Enjoy!

For an Added Twist:
For a sparkling twist, top with a splash of ginger beer to up the spice a bit.
