Scout and Cellar Citrus Bliss

Post 2/5

Now here’s a ‘grove’ you can enjoy a blissful afternoon in! Scout & Cellar  have just announced an addition to their unique, clean crafted wine based mixer ‘Wilderness Road’ with ‘The Grove’.

These are fortified wine mixers, made with the same toxin-free ‘clean-crafted’ principle as in all the Scout and Cellar products, and is a great alternative to hard alcohol bases, to create light, refreshing cocktails.

Infused with botanicals, ‘The Grove’ tastes a lot like gin!  I had great fun pairing it with basil, fresh orange juice and a splash of seltzer water to create a light, refreshing cocktail.

The notes of this drink pairs perfectly with the sweet, salty and bitter notes of the Marinated Citrus Salad with Feta & Crispy Prosciutto.

This cocktail is part 2/5 of my ‘Fall into Citrus’ menu created for my virtual cooking class for the John Knox Village Active Aging Week.

Enjoy!

3          Basil leaves

1          fl oz. Simple Syrup or sweetener of choice

4          oz sparkling water (San Pelligrino works best)

Orange Twist to garnish
