For centuries, turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. A dash of turmeric syrup or tincture lends cocktails a lovely golden glow, reminiscent of a sunset. Turmeric pairs great with alcohol. It makes your cocktails taste even better and makes you glow inside and out. The flavour is mildly bittersweet, with notes of ginger and orange. It pairs nicely with fruit juices like pineapple, mango, or peach for a tropical vibe.
Let the golden glow elevate your cocktails to the next level. Cheers to health and flavour!
