Aquarius Champagne Julep
Packed with the sage, mint, and rosemary Aquarian Moon herbs, this lite and elevating concoction is inspired to help you attune to your individuality, to help liberate your mind and body from old ties.
Ingredients
- 3 leaves Culinary Sage
- 7 leaves Mint
- 1 small sprig Rosemary
- 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup (1:1 sugar to hot water)
- 1/4 ounce Fresh Lime Juice
- 3 drops Angostura Bitters
- 3/4 ounce Bourbon
- 1/4 ounce Anisette or Iris Liqueur (optional)
- 2 ounces Prosecco
- 1 star Anise (for garnish)
- 1 sprig Sage Leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In your shaker, add sage, rosemary, mint, and syrup.
- Muddle these ingredients, thinking of their purifying, protecting, and wisdom/clarity inducing energies that will help you break free from relationships and situations that no longer serve you, under the guidance of the Aquarius Full Moon. In fact, you can imagine the muddler stamping out these old cycles and connections.
- Add in the bourbon and reflect on the patterns, systems, or ties you are getting rid of.
- Then squeeze hex-breaking lime juice into the shaker, visualizing the juice cleansing these old ties away.
- Add in bitters and then optional iris or anise liqueur for wisdom & purification, and further connection to your path & true self. Add ice and shake!
- Double strain over crushed ice - or normal ice cubes if that’s all you have!
- Pour champagne or sparkling white wine atop the drink, connecting to the fact that this white wine is made with grape skins removed, to get to the spirit inside - similar to the outward bonds you are releasing to connect to your true unique individual path.
- Stir & add sage and anise star garnish.
