Enjoy the floral refreshment and immunity-boosting herbs in this non-alcoholic cocktail inspired by Curious Elixir No. 3. We made this one with our favorite technique from mixographer Dave Wondrich, the oleo saccharum, where sugar magically draws citrus oil into itself. With the immunity boost of echinacea and the calming properties of chamomile and lavender, this booze-free beauty is ready to help you unwind from the worries of the world.
