Pickle-Lemonade ft Homemade Pickle Vodka

Categories Recipes1 Comment on Pickle-Lemonade ft Homemade Pickle Vodka

I’m going to share this recipe with you, and some of you are going to respond with, “Ew pickle lemonade, that sounds so gross!” To which I’ll respond, “no one asked your opinion, go be a hater elsewhere.” I originally saw this glorious combo from NYT cooking and I had to give it a try. I made the virgin option first, and it was DELICIOUS, so I thought, why not spice it up and add some vodka? To take it a step further, I wanted to make my own pickle vodka. It is incredibly versatile, adding it to Bloody Marys and other delightful cocktails. Obviously, you can skip making the pickle vodka and buying your own, but why would you want to do that?

Ingredients

Pickle Vodka

  • 3 Cups Vodka [it should be Tito’s]
  • 1 Cup Dill Pickle Juice
  • 3 Dill Pickles
  • Large Mason Jar
  • Lemonade

Let’s Get Mixin’

In a large mason jar combine your vodka + dill pickle juice + dill pickles. Tightly seal, shake the jar and place in a cool, dark space for 5 days. Patience is a virtue.

After 5 days, it’s time to start mixing!

In a cold shaker, add in ice + pickle vodka + lemonade and shake well. Strain into a glass with ice cubes and garnish with a pickle [preferably one that was soaking in the pickle vodka].

Enjoy!

Vitamin C Juice

Categories Recipes1 Comment on Vitamin C Juice

Everyone is getting sick & I just do not have time for that. I know sometimes catching these nasty bugs is completely out of our control; so I like to do what is within my control and that involves making this drink. This juice is packed with oranges, lemons, grapefruits, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper. It provides us with antioxidants, vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory properties that keep us nice and healthy in the upcoming cold months. I like to drink the juice with some lemonade warmed up in the microwave as a nice tea, or you can drink it cold on its own.

Ingredients

  • 1 Grapefruit
  • 2 Oranges
  • 3 Lemons
  • 1 Knob of Fresh Ginger
  • 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 TSP Turmeric
  • 1 TSP Cinnamon
  • 1 TSP Black Pepper
  • Water

Let’s Get Juicing

Prep all your fruits by removing the rind and cutting them into slices.

Place all the ingredients into a blender and fill the blender 3/4 full of water, leaving the top of the fruits uncovered.

Once completely blended, prepare a pot with a strainer over top. Strain the juice to remove all the pulp.

After straining, jar the juice to store and place it in the fridge for up to a month.

Drink with lemonade or own it’s own!

Stay warm out there.

Made with Love,
