Organic Lavender Martini

Organic Lavender is soothing, relaxing and smells amazingly! While I love lavender as an essential oil, I have never had the chance to mix it into a cocktail…until now. After visiting the organic lavender farm at Clairmont Farms in Los Olivos, CA, I was introduced to culinary lavender and used it to create this lovely lavender and lemon martini!

Clairmont Farms: 2480 Roblar Avenue, Los Olivos, CA 93441 If you are in Santa Ynez area, do not miss this stop. If you don’t live anywhere near, don’t worry, you can order all of their products online here!

Organic Lavender & Lemon Martini

 


Ingredients:

- 2 tbls. Organic Culinary Lavender (available online for $7.00 from Clairmont Farms)

- 3 ounces Organic Vodka

- 1/2 ounce Lavender – Lemon Simple Syrup (available online for $10 from Royal Rose)

- 1/2 organic lemon

- Water

Tools Needed: Cocktail Shaker, Cocktail Strainer, Culinary Strainer (for lavender water)

To make the lovely Organic Lavender Lemon Martini:

1. Pour 2 tbls. of Organic Lavender into a mug.

2. Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and let sit for 5 minutes. Once complete remove the lavender parts with a culinary strainer and let the infused water cool.

3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add 3 ounces of your favorite Organic Vodka (I used Ocean Vodka for this. It is a very mellow, sipping vodka, perfect for this combination).

4. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of an organic lemon into the shaker.

5. Pour in 1/2 ounce of the Lavender – Lemon Royal Rose Simple Syrup.

5. Cover and shake very well.

4. Strain the mix into a chilled martini glass.

5. Top off the martini with 2 tbls. of the strained and cooled lavender water.

Bridget Marquardt’s Organic Cocktail “Strawberry Blonde”

The Strawberry Blonde, also known as “The Bridget Marquardt” is sweet, sexy and the perfect party starter. Designed after Bridget’s favorite combination of Strawberries, Lemons and Vodka, this 100% organic cocktail is super delicious, beautiful and brings fun to every occasion!

The Bridget Marquardt “Strawberry Blonde” cocktail recipe

- 1 Organic Lemon

- 6 Organic Strawberries

- 1 Ounce Organic Simple Syrup (see recipe below)

- 1 1/2 ounces Organic Vodka

- 1 ounce organic Champagne or Sparkling Wine (Domaine Carneros is a delicious organic sparkling wine produced in Napa, California)

Tools Needed: Juicer, Cocktail Shaker, Cocktail Strainer

To prepare the Organic Simple Syrup : Pour 1 cup of water and 1 cup of Organic Sugar into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and let cool. To store, cover and refrigerate.

To Make the “Strawberry Blonde” Organic Cocktail: Juice the strawberries and lemon together (remember to remove the rind of the lemon first). Pour the juice into a cocktail shaker. Add about 1 cup of ice. Pour in 1 ounce of organic simple syrup and 1 1/2 ounces of organic vodka. Cover and shake for 30 seconds. Strain the cocktail into a pink sugar-rimmed and chilled martini glass (see below). Top off with 1 ounce of organic champagne.

Garnish with an organic lemon wheel.

Enjoy!

To create a Pink Sugar-Rimmed Martini Glass: Juice just 1 or 2 strawberries and pour the juice onto a shallow dish. Add enough organic sugar to absorb the juice and still stay “clumpy”. Run the rim of the martini glass in circles around the dish until well coated. Let sit for a few minutes to dry.

Health Benefits: Organic Lemons are natural fat-burners, low calorie, and are wonderful sources of Vitamin C and Limonene (studies of which have shown to have wonderful anti-cancer effects). In addition, Organic Strawberries are amazing antioxidants and loaded with essential vitamins and nutrients.

Organic Choice: Both Strawberries and Lemons are covered with harmful pesticide sprays, chemical fertilizers and fungicides, most of which remain on the fruit even after being washed well. Buying organic is really the only way around the nasty chemicals that harm both you and the earth.

Serving Suggestions: The “Strawberry Blonde” organic cocktail has extra special touches that will definitely impress your guests. Between the pink sugar rimmed glass, the splash of champagne, and delicious flavors, this cocktail is the perfect touch that ensures a delightful celebration.

Organic Strawberry Appletini

Sweet and subtle, this Strawberry Appletini tastes similar to a regular appletini served at a bar, but with a very fresh and mellow flavor. The juiced apple is full of nutrition and has a much stronger apple flavor (much better than the artificial or bottled apple juice typically served). The strawberries add a nice twist to the drink, adding a refreshing and sweet sensation. The organic sugar around the rim and the floating apple slice takes the drink up a step, making it perfect for a dinner or cocktail party!

ORGANIC STRAWBERRY APPLETINI (serves 1)

Tools Needed: Juicing machine, shaker, strainer.

Remove the core from the apple and place into a juicer. Add the 2 organic strawberries and juice. Pour the fresh apple and strawberry juice into the cocktail shaker. Add 1 ounce of organic simple syrup and 2 ounces of organic vodka. Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Strain into a martini glass.

If you would like to coat the rim of the martini glass with organic sugar, pour enough sugar onto the bottom of a plate to be able to dip the rim of the glass in. Take a small slice of lime and rub along the rim on the glass and then dip into the organic sugar. (obviously, coat with sugar before you pour the cocktail into the glass).

To float an apple slice, cut a thin piece of the apple that is close to the core and place gently on top of the cocktail with a fork.

Fit Bar Elements: Freshly juiced apples are incredibly good for your health. They are known to decrease your risk of heart disease, asthma, type 2 diabetes, cancers and much more. They are packed with Vitamin A and C, fiber and more essential vitamins and minerals. The rule of eating or juicing apples, is to make sure you do not remove the skin, where almost all of the nutrients thrive. For more interesting fit facts on apples, click here.

Organic strawberries have many health and nutritional benefits with the bonus of being excellent fat burners! Strawberries contain Vitamin C and K, dietary fiber, rich flavonoids and more. They are known to help with inflammation as well as reduce the risks of cancer and heart disease – on top of just being delicious!

    Looking for an organic cocktail recipe that is simple and the perfect new twist on a classic margarita? Try the “Earth, Sun and Fire” 100% organic cocktail. Perfect for Cinco De Mayo or a warm summer evening, this alcohol beverage is made with organic jalapeno infused tequila, half of an organic tangerine, half of an organic lime and 1/2 ounce of agave nectar.
    To make this fresh cocktail, first infuse the tequila with fresh and organic jalapeno peppers. The infusion only takes 24 hours and is very simple to complete. Slice 2 jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and place in a jar that can be completely sealed. Pour half of a bottle of organic tequila over the jalapenos and seal. Place in a dark place for 24 hours. When complete, strain the tequila to remove the jalapenos and seeds. Cover and let cool in the refrigerator.
    Once the jalapeno infusion is complete, add 1/2 of a tangerine (with the peel still on), 1/2 of an organic lime with a squeeze and 1/2 ounce of agave nectar into a cocktail shaker. Muddle well until all of the juices are combined. Add 1 cup of ice and 2 ounces of the jalapeno infused tequila. Cover and shake well. Pour into a rocks glass. Cheers!
