CAPERBERRY & LEMON SPRITZER 🍸🍋
A sophisticated, brine-forward, and cannabis-infused aperitif. This mocktail moves away from traditional sweetness, utilizing the floral, salty punch of muddled caperberries against a backdrop of bright lemon. It is a crisp, savory, and highly refreshing drink designed to stimulate the palate.

INGREDIENTS:
* 10mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 3 large caperberries (plus 1 for garnish)
* 1 oz fresh lemon juice
* 1/2 oz simple syrup
* 4-5 oz chilled soda water
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: A whole caperberry and a thin lemon wheel
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, place 3 caperberries (stems removed) and muddle them thoroughly to release their brine and oils.
* Add the fresh lemon juice and simple syrup.
* Add the cannabis tincture (10mg).
* Fill with ice and shake briefly to chill and integrate the flavors.
* Double strain (to remove caperberry bits) into a wine glass or coupe filled with fresh ice.
* Top with chilled soda water and stir gently.
* Garnish with a whole caperberry (on a pick) and a lemon wheel.
CHEF TIPS:
The Brine: For an extra savory kick, add a teaspoon of the brine from the caperberry jar directly into the shaker.
Texture: Double straining is important here to ensure the drink remains clear and elegant, as muddled caperberries can be fibrous.
The Berry: Caperberries are milder and more floral than standard capers; do not substitute regular capers as they will be far too salty for this balance.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Caperberry & Lemon Spritzer responsibly 🍸🍋
