Lemon Balm "Drop"
This mocktail version of a classic "Lemon Drop" will leave you feeling refreshed, calm, and collected. Thanks to the addition of our flavorful and nerve-soothing Lemon Balm extract, you can enjoy the relaxation you deserve. Full of bright, lemony citrus flavor with a dash of sweetness and light bubbles, this mocktail can be savored any time of day.*
Ingredients
Serves 1
1 tsp fresh Lemon juice
3 oz sparkling water
1 tsp Maple syrup
0.7 ml Herb Pharm Lemon Balm liquid herbal extract†
Ice
Optional Garnish: 1 strip fresh Lemon peel
Optional Sugar Rim
1 tsp grated fresh Lemon zest
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 fresh Lemon wedge
Optional Sugar Rim Instructions:
- Mix the Lemon zest and sugar together on a small flat plate with your fingers until well combined. The sugar will turn light yellow.
- Press the sugar mixture flat on the plate.
- Before straining your drink into your martini glass, rub a fresh Lemon wedge around the rim and dip it into the sugar mixture.
Instructions
- Add the Lemon juice, sparkling water, Maple syrup, Lemon Balm extract, and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake lightly or stir well to combine.
- Strain the liquid into your prepared glass.
- Add an optional twist of Lemon peel as a garnish.
- Sip and enjoy!
Tips:
- Mixing fresh Lemon zest with sugar makes for a lovely color and flavor but can naturally clump the sugar once rubbed on the glass. If you don't like the texture, you can omit the Lemon zest for a classic sugar rim.
- Use any kind of glass you desire, but we recommend a martini glass for a fun mocktail!
†One squeeze of the dropper equals 0.7 ml; provides approximately 1 serving of Herb Pharm liquid herbal extract.
