Rosemary Ginger Margaritas Recipe

Oh tequila. Sometimes I wish that it wasn’t alcoholic so I could drink it all day. Especially since these Rosemary Ginger Margaritas are SO good!

I’ve had a bit of a cold the past few days and decided that it would be a good idea to make a little elixir of sorts to see if it would help. I remember my mother used to make a cough syrup with peppermint and whisky growing up and it worked like a charm so I figured I’d try my hand at it.

Tequila is known to be good for chest colds and ginger had all sorts of awesome anti-inflammatory properties due to a compound called gingerols. Gingerols inhibit the formation of inflammatory cytokines which are the chemical messengers of the immune system.

Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory properties due to rosmarinic acid. Studies have shown that it reduces inflammatory messengers such as leukotriene B4. Rosemary also contains flavonoids that stimulates the immune system, aids in digestions, and improves circulation. It also increases blood flow to the brain which can help with the common headache that accompanies colds.

Not bad huh? All of these things make this cocktail a great excuse for a lovely margarita if you’re feeling a little under the weather. Don’t worry though, if you’re feeling just dandy you’ll still want one of these in your hand soon. They’re a bit spicy from the ginger and the Rosemary gives everything a nice earthy flavor. Add in a little sweetness from the coconut sugar simple syrup and you’ve got one killer of a cocktail.

I’ve got an ever-growing list of fabulous concoctions that I’m just itching to share. Try my Aloe Vera Margarita next!
