#HappyHourClub 11 / Ginger Lemon Martini

11HHC.jpg

Still nursing my summer cold so I'm sticking to cocktails that provide an extra punch of vitamins in hopes to banish this bug. Since walking from point A to point B is exhausting, I needed to keep this recipe simple but full of flavor. Luckily I just stumbled upon Juicelove's Apple, Lemon, Ginger Juice earlier this week while hitting up the Pie Hole in DTLA's Arts District. Their juice is absolutely delicious. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the packaging is awesome with a wax seal that drips down the bottle. Remember, my background is in design. Next, I headed over to my bar cart and grabbed my Espolón Reposado Tequila. 5 minutes later I had a cold buster martini ready. Tomorrow if I'm still tangoing with this bug, I'll be sure to add in a dose of Emergen-C. Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 ozs Espolón Reposado Tequila
  • 1 1/2 ozs JuiceLove Apple Lemon Ginger Juice

Directions:

Add the contents above to your cocktail shaker with ice. Shake it up and strain out into your martini or champagne goblet. For garnish, add a slice of candied ginger or add a pop of pink with Strawberry gumballs as pictured above. Cheers!
