8 ingredients · 2 minutes ·2 servings
This cocktail is perfect for a hot summer evening or cold winter weekend – it’s warm, sweet & spicy but also fresh. This drink is very low in sugar, plus fennel helps to relieve intestinal gas & cramping making this cocktail a great choice for your weekend indulgence! To make this an amazing mocktail, simply swap out the gin for Fluere Original Non-Alcoholic Distilled Spirit (it’s shockingly similar to gin & a Canadian company!).
Directions
Combine the fennel & gin in a cocktail shaker & muddle until broken up, about 20 seconds.
Add the juices, stevia or honey & pinch of salt to the shaker & fill with ice. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds.
Strain evenly into 2 ice-filled Old-Fashioned or rocks glasses, and top each one with 1 1/2 ounces of sparkling water. Garnish with a fennel frond & freshly grated nutmeg. Enjoy!
