We've already discussed the many health benefits of Hawthorn for the heart, for breathing, for blood circulation, and more. Many of WishGarden's remedies include Hawthorn and can be easily taken with water. But. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, so we thought we'd take it up a notch and provide some recipes for some delicious Hawthorn mocktails and cocktails.

We love this cocktail because it's truly so simple. Even though it technically isn't a cocktail itself, this Liquid Bliss Hawthorn Gin is delicious straight or with tonic.
Ingredients
- Jar
- Enough Hawthorn berries to fill your jar
- Enough Gin to fill your jar 14 oz
- White sugar
- 1 Serving (4-8 pumps) Liquid Bliss Mood Elevator
Instructions
- Sterilize your jars by washing it with hot soapy water, and then placing it upside down in a 275-degree oven for 10 minutes.
- Put a handful of Hawthorn berries in the jar, cover with a quarter of sugar, and repeat until the jar is full.
- Put the jar on a shelf out of direct sunlight and wait for 4-6 weeks. Patience is key! This gin is worth it, we promise.
- Serve with a serving (4-8 pumps) of Liquid Bliss mixed in. This gin tastes amazing and takes full advantage of the Hawthorn berry's powers. And, when mixed with Liquid Bliss, it can lift your mood and increase your sense of connection.
There you have it! Hawthorn's various body-supporting benefits, and naturally delicious flavor make it a great addition to mocktails and cocktails.
