About the Recipe
Some evenings need something soft and warming — but not heavy. Golden Hour Glow is mellow, cozy, and naturally calming. I made this one evening while doing nothing in particular — just watching the sunset stretch across my kitchen — and it reminded me that rest is productive.
Ingredients
1½ oz fresh orange juice
1 oz chamomile tea (brewed strong and cooled)
½ oz honey syrup (1:1 honey + warm water)
½ oz lemon juice
Tiny pinch of turmeric (or use golden milk powder)
Ice
Instructions
Step 1
Brew the chamomile and let it cool slightly.
Step 2
Shake everything together with ice until lightly frothy.
Step 3
Strain into a chilled glass or pour over fresh ice.
Tips
Zero-proof by design — you don’t need alcohol to glow.
Optional spirit: Add a splash of bourbon for a slow-sipping night.
Turmeric too bold? Skip it or sub with a thin slice of fresh ginger.
Pair with: A candlelit bath, soft socks, and a “do not disturb” phone setting.
Serving Tips
Glass: Coupe or stemless wine glass
Garnish: Orange peel twist or a tiny edible flower
Vibe: Gratitude journaling, low-fi beats, fully exhaling
