Citrus-Sage Smash

Goldthread Tonics Founder, clinical herbalist, ethnobotanist, and Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner William Siff crafted this non-alc cocktail recipe as your companion for a laidback evening with loved ones. William enjoys Abstinence Spirits, a vibrant flavor-forward, plant-powered alcohol-free spirit, to wind down with or complement a meal with friends. They offer relaxation without feeling sedated, and a balanced boost to an evening out. William was inspired to pair these plant-powered spirits with Goldthread Tonics and muddled herbs to enhance their botanical benefits.

Sage is prized for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and Ginger is the all-star herb that helps activate the feel good chemistry produced in the enteric nervous system residing in the gut. This smash is all about the highly aromatic botanicals that elevate and activate your good mood. Paired with Goldthread's Hawaiian Ginger Tonic, Abstinence Spirits Lemon Aperitif is the best of the Mediterranean and South Pacific combined to refresh you for an evening socializing with friends.

The earthy herbal notes from the sage pair beautifully with the bright citrus and ginger in this recipe. The ginger and sage in this tonic also work together improve digestion, making this a perfect pre- or post-dinner drink.
