  3. Strain out and discard the solids.

The Snowbird

A take on a non-alcoholic lychee martini, this cocktail feels like a snowbird escape – fruity, floral, and a little exotic, with the crispness of a martini.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz hibiscus-infused Seedlip Spice 94
  • 0.5 oz lychee syrup
  • 0.75 oz lime juice
  • Non-alcoholic prosecco (to top)
  • 2 oz simple syrup (for the foam)
  • 1 egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba)

Directions

  1. Combine the hibiscus-infused Seedlip Spice 94, lychee syrup, and lime juice.
  2. Shake and strain into a coupe.
  3. Top with prosecco foam. To make, add non-alcoholic prosecco, simple syrup, and egg white to a whipped cream dispenser. Charge twice with nitrous oxide, dispense to garnish.

Painkiller (with a twist!)

Ingredients
