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.

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.

    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!
