Summer’s Coming, Cool Off with These Eco Friendly Cocktails
Summer is on its way and it will soon be the season for sitting out on the deck, admiring the view and cooling off with a nice tasty adult beverage. The good news is that more and more liquor companies are making an effort to produce their wares in a more sustainable and environmentally responsible manner.
Upon learning this the ever responsible TTP staff felt that we owed it to our followers and readers to sample some of these “green” liquors in the form of a few summer cocktails, purely of course for the purposes of research. After extensive amounts of the aforementioned research the following were our favorites:
The Green Martini
A company called Square One make a terrific organic vodka that practically cries out to become the primary ingredient for a Classic Martini:
2 1/2 oz Square One Vodka
1/2 oz dry vermouth
1 green olive or lemon twist for garnish
orange or Angostura bitters (optional)
Preparation:
- Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
- Stir for 30 seconds (Or shake ingridients in a mixer should you prefer the 007 way)
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Add a dash of orange or Angostura bitters to taste
- Garnish with the olive or lemon twist.
Remember, if you have guests and they ask for their martini “very dry” that really means leaving out the vermouth altogether.
The Overflowing Cup
Using a good organic gin like the one produced by Distillery 209 you can create this eco friendly twist on the classic Pimms Cup #1. Mix one part gin with 3 parts organic lemonade or 
lemon soda (you can also use ginger ale). Crush a few fresh mint leaves in ice and mix it all together . Add a twist of lemon, a slice of orange, and a slice of cucumber to garnish and you have a fruity, eco friendly libation that hits the spot on even the hottest days.
Blueberry Hemp Shake
This milkshake like cocktail is actually brimming with anti-oxidants so if you need an excuse to indulge – there it is. Again, we used Square One vodka but the choice of liquor is actually up to individual taste.
To create this fairly healthy adult beverage you will need:
2oz Square One Organic Vodka
1 1/2 Cups Pure Water
5 TB Hemp Seeds
3 TB Agave Nectar
1 TB Coconut Butter (optional)
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 10oz Package of Frozen Wild Blueberries
1 Cup Frozen Banana
Pinch of Sea Salt
Blend all of the ingredients except for the frozen ones on high speed until the mixture is white, creamy and frothy. Next, add the remaining frozen ingredients and blend again on high until smooth and creamy. We actually preferred this drink kept simple with just the blueberries and hemp milk But it is thicker, creamier, and sweeter with the banana but that does add a little extra sugar.
