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.

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.

Organic Bing Cherry Margarita Madness

Who would have thought that Bing Cherry Season would get me this excited, but this weekends trip to the Farmer’s Market in Goleta, CA actually took me by surprise. Personally, I have always liked these sweet cherries, but my family has not always backed my opinion. In fact, when my husband saw them at the market this past Saturday, he literally said, “I hate cherries”. My 4 year old had never tried them before and my 18 month old has allergies to almost every fruit under the sun, so I figured I would be flying solo on the “Bing Cherry Facebook Fan Page”. (No, I don’t think this page actually exists).

My expectation of cruising right past the cherry stand was halted, when my usually not-so-adventurous-eating oldest daughter walked right up to the bing cherry stand and took a sample, announcing “mmmmm….I LOVE cherries”. Not to be left out, my husband snuck behind my back and ate one, surprisingly saying “hmmm….I guess I don’t hate them after all”. With two wins in a row, I was feeling pretty brave and offered my little girl a small sample, which of course she loved, and miraculously, she did not even have an allergic reaction! In this family, this is a cause for a huge celebration! So, a large bag of organic bing cherries later and a beautiful Santa Barbara sunset, it was time for a mixology session. The result? An amazing 100% organic Bing Cherry Margarita! Cheers!

ORGANIC BING CHERRY MARGARITA

Organic Bing Cherry Margarita

The Organic Bing Cherry Margarita Cocktail Recipe

- 2 ounces Organic Tequila

- 5 organic sweet Bing Cherries

- 1/2 organic lime

- 1/2 ounce organic agave nectar

- 1 cup crushed ice

Tools Needed: muddler, cocktail shaker

To make the Organic Bing Cherry Margarita: Remove the pit of 5 organic bing cherries and split them in half. Place the cherries into a cocktail shaker and muddle very well to release the cherry juice. Squeeze the juice of half of an organic lime over the cherries and add 1 cup of crushed ice. Muddle the ingredients together a bit more. Pour 1/2 ounce of organic agave nectar and 2 ounces of organic tequila over the ice. Cover and shake well. Pour the contents into a margarita glass.

Garnish with a beautiful bing cherry by slicing it on the bottom just a bit and placing on the lip of the glass.

Enjoy!

Health Benefits: Organic Bing cherries are wonderful antioxidants, contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C and healthy fiber. In addition, studies performed on bing cherry extracts have shown that they are anti-inflammatory and may greatly benefit those with arthritis.

Organic Choice: Cherries are among the most pesticide sprayed fruits. Farmers of non-organic cherries may say that it is impossible not to use chemicals, but this is not the truth, in fact, there are many ways to grow organic cherries that lead to healthy and chemical-free produce.

Buying Guide: Bing cherry season is short and typically last from mid-may through June. Select cherries that are tight and shiny. Avoid cherries that have blemishes or are rotted. It is a good sign when bing cherries come in pairs, so grab these if you can.

“Berry Caliente” is a sweet and subtle organic cocktail made with a touch of aphrodisiac and a bit of delicious antioxidants.

Berry Calient

Berry Caliente is a wonderful blend of sweet, sour and spice. The wait time of jalapeno-infused tequila is only 24 hours and absolutely worth it!

The Organic “Berry Caliente” Cocktail Recipe

- 2 ounces jalapeno infused organic tequila (see recipe below)

- 5 organic Blackberries

- 5 organic Raspberries

- 10 organic Blueberries

- 1/2 organic lime

- 1/2 ounce organic agave nectar

- 1 slice of a jalapeno pepper

Tools Needed: juicer, cocktail shaker, cocktail strainer, jar, small cooking strainer.

To prepare the organic jalapeno infused tequila: (Infusion time: 24 hours)

- Pour half of a bottle of organic tequila into a jar that can be completely sealed. Slice 2 organic Jalapeno Peppers lengthwise in half and place in the tequila. Seal the jar and place in a dark area (pantry or cupboard). Let sit for 24 hours then use a small strainer to remove the jalapenos and their seeds. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tip: I like to use 1/2 of a bottle of organic tequila. That way, if the tequila is too spicy for you or a guest, you can dilute it with the remaining tequila.

To make the organic “Berry Caliente” : Juice all of the berries together and pour into the cocktail shaker. Squeeze half of a lime into the juice and add 1/2 ounce of organic agave nectar. Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker and pour 2 ounces of jalapeno-infused organic over the ice. Shake very well and strain into a chilled martini glass.

Garnish with a slice of organic jalapeno pepper.

Cheers!

Alternative option: If you don’t like the heat of the jalapeno peppers, this cocktail is great without the infusion as well, just use regular organic tequila and your taste buds will be pleased!

Health Benefits: Fresh, organic berries have strong antioxidant properties and are wonderful for your immune system. Jalapeno peppers are natural fat-burners and are known for their aphrodisiac properties! Enjoy!

Organic Choice: Pesticide residues thrive on berries and are on the “must have” organic list, in addition, organic berries taste better and the organic choice is MUCH better for the environment.

“Earth, Sun & Fire” an Organic Cocktail with a Sweet and Spicy Twist

Earth, Sun and Fire

The preparation of organic jalapeno infused tequila is absolutely worth it for this tasty cocktail! This drink has a wonderful spiciness mixed with a bit of sweet and sour from the organic tangerine and lime that makes it an unforgettable must have!

The Organic “Earth, Sun & Fire” cocktail recipe

- 2 ounces jalapeno infused organic tequila (see recipe below)

- 1/2 organic tangerine

- 1/2 organic lime

- 1/2 ounce organic agave nectar

Tools Needed: jar, muddler, cocktail shaker, small cooking strainer.

To prepare the organic jalapeno infused tequila: (Infusion time: 24 hours)

Tip: I like to use 1/2 of a bottle of organic tequila. That way, if the tequila is too spicy for you or a guest, you can dilute it with the remaining tequila.

To make the organic “Earth, Sun & Fire” : Peel apart 1 organic tangerine and place half (including peel) into a cocktail shaker. Slice an organic lime and add half to the cocktail shaker with a squeeze. Add 1/2 ounce of organic agave nectar. Muddle the ingredients very well, until the juice of the tangerine and lime have been released. Add 2 ounces of jalapeno infused organic tequila and about 3/4 cup of ice. Shake well and pour into a rocks glass.

Enjoy!

Extra special touch: Glass straws are a beautiful and fun addition to cocktails (not to mention they are eco-friendly and toxin-free)! Strawsome, a family-owned green company, hand-makes delightful glass straws that are non-toxic and dishwasher safe. The straws come in a variety of lengths and are customizable to match favorite colors and designs. Strawsome even has a lifetime guarantee against breakage; if you break it, they will replace it! Strawsome glass straws make wonderful gifts, and truthfully, not a cocktail should be served without them!

To read more about Strawsome and to place an order, check out their website: http://www.strawesome.com/

Health Benefits: Like oranges, tangerines are full of Vitamin C, dietary fiber and B vitamins. They are super low in calories and help to boost the immune system. Organic limes are natural fat-burners and also a good source of nutrients and vitamins. Jalapeno peppers are a natural aphrodisiac and even help to boost metabolism. Does it get much better?

Organic Choice: The peels of citrus fruits are what contain and absorb the majority of chemical sprays used to grow them. In this cocktail especially, since the peels are kept on the tangerine and lime, buying organic is essential to protect your health.

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 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.

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.

“Fresh Berry Rumtini” Organic Cocktail Recipe

Luscious, sweet and smooth, the Fresh Berry Rumtini organic cocktail makes antioxidants amazingly sexy! Loaded with the nutrients and flavor of pure, organic berries, topped off with a warming and mellow rum, this martini could be called “a little slice of heaven”.

Fresh Berry Rumtini (serves 1)

2 ounces Organic Rum*

6 Organic Strawberries (med.)

6 Organic Blackberries

6 Organic Raspberries

20 Organic Blueberries

1/2 Organic Lime

1 ounce Organic Simple Syrup

lime wheel for garnish

Tools Needed: Juicer*, Cocktail Shaker, Strainer

To prepare the Organic Simple Syrup: Pour 1/3 cup of water and 1/3 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 make the Fresh Berry Rumtini: Get out that juicer and juice all of the berries together (if you don’t have a juicer, see alternative recipe below). Pour the berry juice into a cocktail shaker and add about 1 cup of ice. Pour 2 ounces of Organic Rum, 1 ounce of Organic Simple Syrup, and squeeze the juice of 1/2 Organic Lime, over the ice. Cover and shake well. Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.

Muddle the berries well enough (or use the bottom of a spoon) to release all of the juice from the berries. Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker. Pour 2 ounces of Organic Rum, 1 ounce of Organic Simple Syrup, and squeeze the juice of 1/2 organic Lime, over the ice. Cover and shake well. Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Health Benefits: Organic Berries are amazingly powerful antioxidants and contain many vitamins and nutrients wonderful for both mind and body!

Organic Benefit: Non-organic berries are absolutely covered in harmful pesticides and grown with chemical fertilizers, so selecting organic berries is essential to your health.

Serving Suggestions: The Fresh Berry Rumtini is a sweet cocktail with a tropical flare and has a beautiful color that “pops” at any party or table. If you are making for a cocktail party, juice the berries just prior to guest arrival and store covered in the refrigerator so you have plenty, guests will want more than one!

“Plant A Tree Lemontini” Organic Cocktail Recipe

Not only is this organic drink fat-burning, a nice antioxidant and SUPER tasty, but by drinking it, you erase your carbon footprint for the day! Even better? Throw a party and for every bottle of Organic Tru vodka that is purchased, a tree is planted in the Rain Forest of Central America!

Plant a Tree Lemontini (serves 1)

1 Organic Lemon

1 ounce Organic Simple Syrup

2 ounces Tru Organic Vodka

Organic Sugar for the rim of the martini glass

Mint Sprig for garnish

Tools Needed: Cocktail Shaker, Muddler, Cocktail Strainer

First, prepare the Organic Simple Syrup: Pour 1/3 cup of water and 1/3 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 make: Squeeze the juice of one medium size Organic Lemon into a cocktail shaker. Add 1 ounce Organic Simple Syrup. Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker and pour 2 ounces of TRU Vodka over the ice. Cover and shake vigorously. Strain the contents into a martini glass.

*A nice touch is to add organic sugar along the rim of the martini glass. To do this, rub a lemon slice around the rim to “wet” it, then dip the glass into the organic sugar on a flat plate or surface.

Garnish with a mint sprig and lemon slice.

Enjoy!

Organic Fit Bar Elements: Lemon juice is a natural fat-burner and also high in vitamin C, which is great for your immune system. If you own a juicer, it is wonderful to peel the lemon and juice it.

TRU Vodka: TRU vodka is an exceptionally “green” company. From start, to finish, they take steps which make them “the worlds most carbon negative product” (not to mention their vodka and spirits are also exceptionally delicious)! For more on this awesomely green company, please visit out in-depth review of TRU Vodka.

Serving Suggestions: Throwing an eco-friendly soiree or green wedding? This cocktail is refreshing, light and the more bottles of TRU that are purchased, the more trees that are planted. It’s a win-win situation!
