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.

The “Champagne Dream” Organic Cocktail

- 1 ounce Organic Simple Syrup (see recipe below)

- Approx. 6 ounces of Organic Champagne or Sparkling Wine (Domaine Carneros is a delicious organic sparkling wine produced in Napa, California)

Tools Needed: Juicer

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 Organic “Champagne Dream” : After removing the rind, place the organic lemon in a juicer. Pour the juice into a chilled martini glass. Add 1 ounce of organic simple syrup. Gently add the Organic Champagne or Sparkling Wine.

Health Benefits: Organic Lemons are natural fat-burners, low in calories, and are wonderful sources of Vitamin C and Limonene (studies of which have shown to have wonderful anti-cancer effects).

Organic Choice: The skin (rind) of lemons and other citrus fruits, have layers of chemicals and pesticides on them, which inevitably seep into the skin of the fruit. While removing the rind does eliminate much of the harmful chemicals, purchasing organic eliminates any health risk.

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.

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.

“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. Within the white spongy skin of lemons is limonene, studies of which have shown to have amazing anti-cancer properties.

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!
