Transcript excerpt
These look like minibar shots, but they're actually for sleep. I cook a whole batch on Sundays. Takes best fifteen minutes and lasts about two weeks. The key is passionflower and valerian to help you fall asleep. And it's got hibiscus, pomegranate, and orange peel giving it that deep, rich, Negroni like flavor. Delicious silver eyes right before bed. It's the perfect ritual when you're cutting back alcohol. They have this to try it best Sunday.
