It wouldn’t take too much arm twisting for us to try this stunning cocktail, flavored with brilliant turmeric and healthful carrot juice.

2 ounces turmeric-infused vodka
1 ounce carrot juice
¾ ounce lemon juice
2 dashes orange bitters
Elderflower lemon foam, for topping
Orange peel, for garnish

Combine the turmeric-infused vodka, carrot juice, lemon juice and orange bitters with ice in a Boston shaker. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass and top with elderflower lemon foam. To make foam topping, combine St Germain Elderflower Liqueur, lemon juice, egg whites and water. Pour into an iSi whipped cream dispenser or whip by hand. Garnish with orange peel.
