Notes

  • There are 3 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
  •  
  • Strain your simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth before refrigerating. 
  • But don’t toss those spices! Add the leftover spices and some sliced citrus to a small pot filled with water and simmer on your stove for a wonderful and frugal simmering potpourri. 
  • Combine all of your cocktail ingredients in a glass and give them a stir. Then add the ice last.
