Servings: 1
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Airtight container with lid
Ingredients
For cardamom sugar:
- 1 cup coarse sugar whatever you would normally use for rimming cocktail glasses
- 20-30 whole cardamom seeds depending on how strong of a flavor you want
For cocktail:
- 3 ounces Lillet blanc
- 1 ounce peach juice freshly juiced if possible or nectar
- ½ ounce apricot juice freshly juiced if possible or nectar
- 2 to 3 ounce Peach-Pear LaCroix sparkling water OR Seagram's White Peach Seltzer
Instructions
To make cardamom sugar:
- Mix together cardamom seeds and sugar and store in an airtight container. The cardamom flavor will get more intense the longer it sits. Start steeping the sugar a couple hours before you make the drinks, or let it sit for days (or even weeks) to let it get stronger.
To make cocktail:
- Get rim of lowball glass slightly wet (using water or citrus juice), then dip in cardamom sugar. In a separate glass, mix peach juice, apricot juice and Lillet blanc; pour carefully into serving glass. Top off with LaCroix/Seagrams and serve.
Notes
If you use fruit nectar, the cocktail will be thicker and sweeter, so you may want to use a bit more sparkling water
