Turmeric Spritzer Cocktail

This delicious turmeric cocktail was inspired by a drink at a favorite lunch spot. We went there for my birthday, so I splurged and ordered a cocktail (feeling healthy with the turmeric addition). It was so delicious that I couldn't stop thinking about it and had to find a recipe so I could remake it at home!

Ingredients

Turmeric Syrup

  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons grated fresh turmeric about a 3-inch piece
  • ¼ teaspoon grated orange zest

Turmeric Orange Spritzer

  • ½ cup freshly squeezed navel orange juice about 2 oranges, chilled
  • Sparkling white wine chilled
  • Curled orange peel for garnish

Instructions

  • Stir together the water, maple syrup, and turmeric in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Strain into bowl or large glass measuring cup and discard any solids. It should make about a ½ cup of turmeric syrup. Let cool completely.
  • Add the orange zest and chilled orange juice to the turmeric syrup and stir well. Strain the liquid and discard the solids.
  • Divide the turmeric orange juice between four wine glasses or champagne flutes. Top with 4 ounces of sparkling white wine, or more as desired. Garnish with orange peel before serving.
