Sorrel-Lime Cooler image

This recipe is adapted from Sarah Copeland's forthcoming book, "Feast" (Chronicle Books).It's a little tricky to describe a drink as "addictive" without giving people the wrong idea (it can be spiked with a splash of gin if you like). But this sparkling, restorative cooler is just what we crave after the heavy foods of winter. Its allure and backbone come from sorrel, an herb renowned for its fresh, lemony sourness. The leaves also lend a high note to salads. And when sauteed in butter, they cook down into a flavorful puddle -- in other words, an instant sauce for seafood or poached eggs.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup thinly sliced sorrel leaves
4 limes, quartered, plus 4 thin rounds, for garnish
40 ounces seltzer, chilled

Steps:

  • Combine agave nectar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring. Let syrup cool completely, then transfer to a blender and puree with sorrel until smooth. Pour syrup through a fine sieve into a bowl and discard solids.
  • Squeeze lime quarters into a large pitcher. Add quarters to pitcher and gently smash with the back of a wooden spoon to release the oils in the rind. Add sorrel syrup and seltzer. Serve over ice, garnished with lime rounds.

This cooler was just okay. The sorrel and lime flavors were a bit too tart for my taste, and the honey didn't do much to balance it out. I also found the mint to be a bit overpowering.

This cooler was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of sorrel. However, I can see how others might enjoy it.
