Mixology
Some cocktail ideas...
Notes:
- A 'dose' in the recipes below refers to one capsule (1/5 of a full dose)
- Capsules can be blended whole. They are 100% natural, plant-based and tasteless - and will completely dissolve within seconds.
- Blend for 5 to 10 seconds to ensure all herb extracts are fully homogenised.
- Serve immediately.
- Elixirs can be mixed and matched to excellent effect.
Vivid
#1
- Single or double dose Vivid
- Fresh grapefruit juice
- Crushed ice
Blend
Top with sparkling water
Splash real Grenadine (or homemade pomegranate juice + sugar syrup)
Garnish with mint and/or grapefruit slice
(Vivid is a very bitter product, and the grapefruit juice conceals it well.)
Blue Cleopatra
#1
- Double dose Blue Cleopatra (formulation is quite subtle still)
- ½ shot vodka
- Crushed ice
Blend
Top up with ½ glass white wine or ½ glass champagne
Dash lime juice
Sprinkle pomegranate arils
#2
- Double dose Blue Cleopatra
- Mango or mango/pineapple juice
- Coconut cream
- Crushed ice
Blend
Sprinkle blueberries
#3
Can easily blend into any kind of hot chocolate / frothy coffee type beverage also.
(Blue Cleopatra has a light malty taste with floral notes, so does not need much masking. In the time of the Pharaohs it was served in a strong wine (around 20% alcohol), hence the white wine with vodka boost to replicate that.)
Yab Yum
#1
- Single dose Yab Yum (singles only - a double would generally be too strong for a single drink)
Blend into a traditional Virgin Mary without Worcestershire Sauce;
o Tomato juice
o Lemon/lime juice
o Tabasco sauce
o Celery salt
o Crushed ice
o Lemon/lime juice
o Tabasco sauce
o Celery salt
o Crushed ice
(Every bartender has their own recipe, so don’t want to say too much!)
#2
- Single dose Yab Yum
- 1 shot fire tonic
- 2 shots lime juice
- Grated ginger
- Honey
- Crushed ice
Blend
Serve either neat as a shooter, or topped up with sparkling water or ginger kombucha
#3
Serve either neat as a shooter, or topped up with sparkling water or ginger kombucha
#3
- Single dose Yab Yum
- 50/50 pineapple/grapefruit juice
- Rose water
- Crushed ice
Blend
Splash blackcurrant syrup
Garnish with a thorny rose!
(Yab Yum has strong spicy, herby and bitter notes. Similar to Vivid in ways but more complex. Needs some work to make palatable.)
