Chamomile Gin Fizz

Thank you to our friends at Frontier Co-op for this amazing recipe!

This creamy, fizzy and frothy confection strikes an unusual balance between richly decadent and lightly refreshing. The sunny flavors of chamomile, lemon and honey make this a fine summer cocktail, but it’s just as delicious any time of the year.

In the month of October, we celebrate co-ops. Why? Because they are awesome! We feature recipes from co-ops around the country in our special Co-op Recipe Guide.
