Health benefits of Wild Heart Cocktail

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 1/4 ounces Aperol
1 1/4 ounces vermouth (such as Dolin Blanc)
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Bitter lemon soda (such as San Pellegrino Limonata or Fever-Tree Bitter Lemon)
1/2 orange wheel

Instructions

Combine Aperol, vermouth, lemon juice, and bitters in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled Old-Fashioned glass. Top with lemon soda and garnish with orange wheel.
