Lemon Verbena Syrup

Make simple syrup with a 1:1 ratio sugar to water. Bring mixture to a boil and then add handful of lemon verbena leaves to the pot. Turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Strain the leaves from mixture. Cool the syrup and set aside.

Prickly Pear Mocktail

Combine all ingredients in a shaker. Then “dry shake” ( with no ice) for 15 shakes. For best results, use the coil from a strainer in the shaker, as this agitates the liquid giving a better foam.

Next remove the coil and add ice to shaker. Shake again for 10 shakes.

Strain the drink into coupe glass.

Strawberry or Raspberry Powder Topping

Add berries into an ultra-high blender (like a Vita Prep) and blend to a powder. Add powder to a sieve and dust on top of the drink’s foam.
