ROOT Collab
For our first collaboration we tested two flavors of ROOT Certified Organic Cocktail Mixers; The Lemongrass, a blend of lemongrass, elderflower and lemon, and Hibi Hibi, hibiscus tea blended with lemon, lime, sugar, elderflower syrup and just a touch of honey. Check out their website for all of their varieties.
ROOT was created by two women who, like, us, have been curating their own cocktails for years and got tired of all the muddling, straining, syrup making. We hear you, ladies! When they couldn’t find a good enough alternative they created their own mixers and started ROOT.
All of their mixers can be served with only the addition of your favorite spirit, or seltzer/club soda and the like. They recommend 2 parts ROOT mixer to 1 part of your choice of spirit. How easy is that?!!! They also have many recipes to add a little bit extra to each mixer. We have also created the following three cocktails to give you some more ideas on how to use this amazing product.
