Lavender Honey Cream...

1.5 oz        Square One Organic Vodka
1 oz           organic heavy cream
1 oz           organic egg white
1 oz           lavender honey syrup*

Add all ingredients over ice in a shaker and shake gently for 30 seconds. This will make a thick, creamy cocktail without too much ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a piece of lavender (this will add to the nose with each sip).

*Lavender honey available in specialty stores. Boil one cup of water and slowly stir in 1 cup of lavender honey until dissolved. Lower heat and reduce for 3 minutes. Let cool and add to a squeeze bottle.

ChiChi Organico... 

2.5 oz        pineapple-infused Square One Organic Vodka**
1.5 oz.       Coco Lopez coconut crème
1 oz           organic heavy cream
dash          Angostura bitters
10oz          glass of ice.5oz          
Reconstituted pineapple puree*** 

In a blender, combine all ingredients and top with ice. Pulse until smooth. Return to glass and garnish with a piece of pineapple and a maraschino cherry. (May also be prepared shaken well for 15-20 seconds with ice in a Boston Shaker and strained over fresh ice)

**Pineapple-infused Square One Organic VodkaUse about one slice of organic dried pineapple (with no added sugar; residual sugar only is best) per 750ml of Square One and infuse for 1-2 days. Be sure the dried fruit has no added sugar. The residual sugar of the pineapple will be enough to sweeten and thicken the infusion quite well. Remove the pineapple and return the vodka to its bottle.

***Blend the reconstituted pineapple into a puree and add to a squeeze bottle.

Mixologist’s Note: This twist on the classic Chi Chi, substitutes an organic dried pineapple infusion for what would normally be light and dark rums and pineapple juice in a Piña Colada.

Mexican Macciato...

RanchO AnchO...

1 cup         cubed, seedless organic watermelon
.5 oz          Organic Agave Nectar (adjust based on sweetness of watermelon)
3 pinches  Ancho Chile Powder (adjust to taste)

Mixologist’s (H. Joseph Ehrmann) Notes:  I created this drink for the Elixir Cocktail Club launch of 4 Copas Organic Tequilas during our Green Drinks Happy Hour. Variations:

• fine-strain and serve up in a cocktail glass with a floating lime wheel and a pinch of chile powder
• muddle a slice of a hot chile pepper into the glass first or add a touch of a chile-infused tequila to bring some heat
