Haymaker’s Punch, also known as switchel (and about 500 other names) is an absolute must in our homes in the summer time. The best thing about this recipe (besides the amazing flavor) is how versatile it is: basically apple cider vinegar + maple + water and then any other elements you may want. This recipe is for a lemon ginger punch, but feel free to experiment with whatever flavors call to you in the summer heat!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Tbs ginger, peeled and chopped
juice from one large lemon
1/4 cup bourbon barrel aged maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
water or soda water

DIRECTIONS:

Combine chopped ginger, lemon juice and vinegar in a blender and blend on medium until ginger is a fine pulp. Strain to remove large ginger pieces, then add syrup and stir. In a glass with plenty of ice scoop in about 1/4 of haymaker’s mix and top with water or soda water, drink, and immediately feel refreshed!
