With the unofficial start of summer coming up this weekend, it’s the perfect time for cocktail and mocktail inspiration. The recipes below are from our May members-only workshop, where we provided additional recipes, tips for creating a cocktail and garnish garden and other gardening tips.
Grow a Cocktail and Garnish Garden
If you’re intrigued by planting your very own cocktail and garnish garden, you can start with our Cocktail Pot Grow Kit. It’s an easy way to begin growing edible plants. The kit comes with certified organic seedlings (pre-grown starter plants), an organic amendment pack to boost your soil, a large premium felt pot and more. All you need to add is sun, soil and water.
Now here are your cocktail and mocktails recipes. Enjoy!
