Even though it’s been so long since we’ve enjoyed happy hours and brunches, it doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy cocktails at home. These upgrades will spice up your drinks and take your cocktails to the next level. Cocktails will never be boring with these trends.
Activated Charcoal
Make your drink spookier with activated charcoal, which turns your cocktails black. Just add 1/4 teaspoon of food-grade activated charcoal to your drink.
Gut-Healthy Mixer
Add a splash of hard kombucha, which is loaded with gut-healthy probiotics, antibiotics, and vitamins for your mixer. You can also stir in apple cider vinegar to your cocktails.
Salted Rims
When making cocktails at home, you probably skip the salted rims. But these additions impact the flavor of your drink and for margaritas, the salty rim offsets the liquor’s bitterness and the lime’s tartness. If you want to elevate salted rims, create rosemary or sriracha infused salt.
Smoky Garnishes
Take garnishes like lemon and orange peel up a notch by smoking them with a lighter to intensify the citrus flavors.
Hydrating Mixers
To avoid hangovers, infuse your drinks with electrolyte-rich mixers. To increase your hydration even more, add ingredients like coconut water or flavored sparkling water to your cocktail.
