Skylark Cocktails at Home

Cheers to a healthy 2017! Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, turmeric is a bright golden spice that adds a little health kick to some of our favorite drinks. Head of Beverage Johnny Swet shared his recipe for a Fort Knox with a turmeric honey twist -  try it at home and feel good about having an extra drink this week!

0.5 c boiling water
