Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Holidays!
Happy New Year!
And Happy EVERYTHING ELSE!
Tis the season to celebrate, isn’t it? So why not celebrate with a super CLEAN-HEALTHY-TASTY-TREAT?
Now that I’m officially LIVE, I just cannot help myself from dreaming up random fashion, food, fitness, workout,… and everything else ideas. LOL my brain is on major overload so get ready for some random, weird and creative “stuff”.
Let’s talk FOOD and DRINKS.
Sometimes we need that ICEBREAKER first drink at a party (ME) if you know what I mean. And what better way to splurge than with a low calorie, red and green holiday inspired MARTINI?!
Potato vodka martinis are the cleanest if you ask me. Less sugar, less calories and less of a hangover the next day. YIPPEE!
(You’ll be seeing a lot of potato vodka inspired recipes guys so hang on and enjoy the ride ha ha…!)
I tried this at a small party I hosted last night and it went over REALLY WELL. Not that anyone had much of a choice, LOL, I required ALL of our friends upon entry to try my tasty new treat. Even the non vodka drinkers were initiated into my “sampling group.”
THE RESULT? I recieved a lot of “light,” “fluffy,” “tasty,” “wow,” “exotic,” “I like it” comments. Personally, I really like my new concoction and I hope you do too! It’s ON BRAND… easy, simple, healthy and oh-so-yummy!
Here we go… drum roll please…serving is for two because it’s no fun drinking alone during a holiday, right?!
+ 2 shots vodka (3 if you’re feeling fiesty and looking for an extra “boost”)
+ 2 shots chilled filtered or spring water
+ 1 sprig of rosemary broken up into pieces
+ 1/4 cup muddled strawberries (organic please)
+ 2 whole organic strawberries (for red holiday garnishes)
+ 2 small intact rosemary sprigs (for green holiday garnishes)
*** Add ice, vodka, muddled strawberries, pieces of rosemary and water into your martini shaker. Shake and shake some more for about 30 seconds. Grab your extra rosemary sprig and insert through the whole strawberry. Then stab your drink pick through the whole strawberry and arrange as your heart desires 🙂 ! Repeat for the second drink. Pour the contents of your martini shaker into each glass, serve and ENJOY!
(For more flavor you can actually let the vodka, water, rosemary and strawberry sit in the shaker for about ten minutes. If you know you’re having a lot of guests you can also pour the multiplied ingredients into a vodka bottle and let sit in the freezer 30 minutes before your party guests arrive. This is easiest for large groups and FAST.)
WHY ROSEMARY? Well, it just sounded good at the time and I’ve never had a drink with rosemary before. I’m all about thinking outside the box, you know what I mean? I decided on strawberry instead of cranberry because well, cranberry is just SO OVER DONE during the holiday season.
What do we all think? Thumbs up I hope! Try it before the new year. Drink safely and Happy Holidays guys. Enjoy your celebrations!
