This green goodness is inspired by St. Patrick’s Day and leftover produce; definitely worth trying. Juicing cabbage may seem odd, but it’s a great hydrating option after a night out. Packed with vitamins C and K, cabbage eases inflammation. Rosemary simple syrup adds a fresh, sweet touch, balancing the cabbage’s bitterness. Sparkling water, akin to champagne bubbles, is refreshing and hydrating. A pinch of Himalayan pink salt enhances flavors and adds good luck. This drink is a supercharger, boosting all flavors. While I’m no medical expert, personally, this concoction has worked wonders for me. Drink it regularly, and you may start glowing from within.
This juice can be batched if using a cold-pressed juicer and will last for a couple of days in the refrigerator. If using other juicers, I recommend drinking it immediately, ideally on the same day.
Cabbage Cooler
Ingredients
1/2 head of green cabbage
1/4 oz rosemary simple syrup
1 medium knob of ginger
1 dash of Himalayan pink salt
Top with S. Pellegrino Sparkling water
Rosemary stirring sprig (it is a garnish and a stirring stick)
Method
For the Rosemary Simple Syrup
Add equal parts of white granulated sugar and water to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the rosemary. Boil for about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat. Let the rosemary cool and steep in the sugar water. Strain out the rosemary. Allow the syrup to cool before refrigerating. It’s best to use the syrup when cool in this drink. Store any unused syrup in the refrigerator. The shelf life for the rosemary simple syrup is about a week, if it lasts that long, being a multi-functional syrup and all.
For the cabbage juice
Use your juicer to juice fresh, clean, washed cabbage and ginger. Pour the juice into a wine glass. Add the rosemary syrup. Use a rosemary sprig garnish to stir. Top it off with sparkling water.
Bar Chef Notes: If you don’t have a juicer you can blend in a blender and strain with a clothe milk bag, cheese cloth, or coffee filter.
Glass: wine glass
Garnish: fresh Rosemary sprig/stir stick
Bar Chef Notes: Ice or chilling juice before serving, optional
