- 0:56it's far away.
- 0:57Speaker 4: What I have in here is our uh, pomegranate syrup
- 1:02with fig concentrate. The Silverett Whole Foods you can get
- 1:07this called just date and no sugar added. So it's
- 1:11just those ingredients and I like it because it's not
- 1:13too sweet and at all. And lime, yeah, then I've
- 1:19got lime in there, So I did uh probably. I
- 1:22have the recipe and I can send it to you
- 1:24put it on the website. So two parts Sophie's are
- 1:27three parts Sophie's. Uh, two parts of the syrup and
- 1:31then one part of the lime shook as you heard,

- 1:57I'm not a gin person, but that stuff is really good.
- 1:59Speaker 4: No, that's not the only thing I might have done
- 2:01with this is ated just a scooch of simple syrup
- 2:04or honeywater. I think because it's a sour it's a
- 2:07little targe.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Too much lemon.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I like it.
- 2:13Speaker 4: I like the Sophie's gin because Utah made great label clearwater.
