Here is a red and green recipe for the holiday season.
With these recipes, even the red is green!
Dirty (But Clean) Martini
Ingredients:
4 oz. Juniper Green Organic Gin
1.5 oz. olive juice (preferably from a jar of organic olives)
Splash of vermouth (if you've got it)
Directions:
Shake up the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker (or if you're not feeling the James Bond, stir it instead). Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with some tasty organic olives.
Result: If you're going to have a real dirty martini, make it as clean as you can with Juniper Green gin. Of course, if vodka is your liquor of choice, Square One is a good alternative. Either way, this one's a classic.
Siembra Azul Pomegranate Margarita
Ingredients:
2 oz. Siembra Azul Tequila
1/2 oz. organic lime juice
2 oz. pomegranate juice
1/2 oz. organic agave nectar or a spoonful of honey
Directions:
Shake ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass. Add a splash of club soda, if you're in the mood for a bit of sparkle. For a slight citrus twist, try using POM Tangerine and orange-infused honey.
Result: Some people find pomegranate juice a bit bitter but with the agave and the Siembra Azul tequila, it goes down real smooth. Just think about drinking this one early in the night. You don't want to deal with sloppy spills on New Year's Eve and pomegranate stains on New Year's Day.
