Southern Recipe Posted by Marianne Brown.

I was recently visiting a friend of mine in Winston Salem, NC. She is currently fulfilling her residency in general surgery. I am so proud of her for accomplishing such a HUGE life goal, but the work hours can be grueling. So while I was there, I thought, what can I do to ease the stress of a 14 hour work day? I’m no physician, but a good toddy always seems to do the trick for me. This is a new favorite late in the afternoon around my house, as well as for my beautiful friend!

Lemon Decompression​ Cocktail

• 3 oz. of dry white wine (we used Sauvignon Blanc)
• 1 oz. St. Germaine
• 1/2 large Meyer lemon

Simply pour white wine and St. Germaine ​over ice. Any 3:1 ration tastes great! Slice lemon into rounds and squeeze into cocktail. Give it a simple stir, then sit back and relax.
