For the Turmeric Juice

For the Cherry Turmeric Painkiller Cocktail

Instructions
 

For the Turmeric Juice

  • Thoroughly wash the turmeric, ginger, and carrots under cold running water. Slice into thin discs - there is no need to peel or remove the skin.
  • Transfer to a large, high-speed blender and fill with approximately 6 cups of water. Blend on high speed until smooth and combined, approximately 1 minute.
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and honey. Mix well to combine.
  • Carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag- a fine-mesh strainer, in this case, will not strain it well enough. Transfer to a jar or bottle and refrigerate until chilled.

For the Cherry Turmeric Painkiller Cocktail

  • Add the rum, pisco, pineapple juice, and orange juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well.
  • Fill a highball glass with ice.
  • Bottom layer: Add 1.5 ounces (3 tablespoons) of Royal Harvest Northwest Noire Maraschino Cherry juice (from the jar) directly into the bottom of your glass.
  • Middle layer: Slowly pour 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) of your homemade turmeric juice over an inverted spoon OR large ice cube. Doing this slowly and carefully will help prevent the two layers from mixing completely.
  • Top layer: Using the same method that you used to add the middle layer, gently add the shaken rum, pisco, pineapple juice, and orange juice.
  • Garnish with additional Royal Harvest Northwest Noire Maraschino Cherries and fresh pineapple wedges. Enjoy!
