How to make it

  1. 1 Prepare the syrup: stir 1 tablespoon honey with 1 tablespoon hot water and 8 to 10 saffron threads. Let steep for 5 minutes, strain, and cool completely. Measure 1/2 ounce for the drink; the batch makes more than one drink needs.
  2. 2 Add the pomegranate juice, strained mandarin juice, lemon juice, measured saffron-honey syrup, and orange blossom water to a tall glass.
  3. 3 Measure the Cosmic Elixir according to the serving directions on your bottle and add it to the glass.
  4. 4 Stir for 5 seconds to combine.
  5. 5 Fill the glass three-quarters full with crushed ice. Swizzle with a bar spoon or swizzle stick for 8 to 10 seconds, until well chilled.
  6. 6 Top with more crushed ice to create a small mound.
  7. 7 Express the mandarin peel over the drink, then add the peel and 1 teaspoon of pomegranate arils as garnish.
  8. 8 Serve immediately.
For adults 21+ only. Alcohol-free does not mean non-intoxicating. Use the serving amount directed on your Cosmic Elixir bottle and allow for delayed effects. Never drive after consuming. Store away from children and pets.
