GARDEN-INSPIRED SPRING COCKTAIL RECIPES

April 13, 2021

Spring is in the air. And if any luck, fresh herbs are in your garden. Make the most of your bounty by creating one of these refreshing and simple-to-make craft cocktails. For each recipe, mix all ingredients in a uKeg 64 (or double up if using a uKeg 128). Then charge the cap and dispense into a tall glass over fresh ice. Leftover herbs can be used to garnish the drink.

* How to Make Basic Herb Simple Syrups:

Heat 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and ½ cup fresh herbs in a saucepan. Simmer until the sugar dissolves, then turn off heat. Let the mixture steep until it cools to room temperature, then strain into a clean bottle or jar. Refrigerate the syrup for up to 2 weeks. Pro tip: add 1 oz of vodka to the simple syrup to act as a preservative.
