Ingredients
Catalyst Lemon and Lime Wine, chilled
Tonic water or lemonade
Ice cubes (or frozen citrus)
Honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)
Fresh basil or mint leaves (for garnish)
Citrus slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill a pint or rocks glass for 5 minutes
Fill the glass with ice cubes to 1/2 inch from the brim
Pour 120ml of chilled Catalyst Lemon and Lime Wine over the ice
Top with 60ml tonic water or lemonade, swirling gently to blend
Drizzle optional sweetener (start with 1 tsp) if desired
Add 1-2 basil or mint leaves to the glass rim before serving
Notes
Chill Catalyst wine for 2 hours before use for optimal carbonation
For a tangy sweet balance, use equal parts lemonade and tonic water
Enhance aroma by crushing herbs with fingers before placement
Garnish with citrus slices for visual appeal
Adjust sweetener amount based on citrus tartness (start low and taste)
Use frozen citrus (lemon/orange) instead of standard ice cubes for added flavor
