This is definitely the perfect Lemon Drop — quick-to-make, all-raw ingredients (except the vodka, of course…), and absolutely delish! My Christmas Wish for this elegantly simple recipe is that you pass it around, make it for your friends and family this holiday season, and start incorporating it into your cocktail culture. And if you mention [...]

Two exotic flavors combine luxuriously into a fragrant concoction… for romance, rejuvenation, and longevity. Take your pick for what you need: A whole-food raw, Live Green Smoothie whipped up quickly in your blender, a virgin superfood cocktail made with fresh juice and the healthful power of goji berries… or a full-on cocktail to “get your [...]

This is the best Margarita recipe ever because it is so dang FRESH tasting! It’s the Live Green magic, I tell ya! Make it and you’ll see the difference… no chemicals, additives, bottled juices or mixes here! My “Live Green” Lemon Drop Martini is still simply the best lemon drop martini I’ve had, I thought [...]

The challenge today: to create a V-8-esque Live Green Smoothie from simple, non-exotic ingredients available at any grocery story, and possibly already in someone’s fridge and cupboard.

I am in love with this cocktail! It’s intended especially for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other Holiday Celebrations, and is a no-alcohol cocktail that tastes very grownup and slightly exotic! It is just the loveliest, festive shade of fuschia and, for those who enjoy cranberries and rose, will ramp up the holiday spirit wherever you make it. I [...]

These Mango Margaritas look like gorgeously golden pureed sunshine! Oh, yeah, and… totally yummy. This is one to memorize for your entertaining repertoire! It’s all raw, except for the tequila. And for this one, I used the tequila recommended by a tequila connoisseur I used to work with: Hornitos Anejo. Dang… was he right! There’s [...]

Oh. Dear. Me. So good. So simple. So utterly GORGEOUS. And it whips up so quickly you could probably fit it in during a television commercial break (if you watch TV, that is…). If people knew they could be drinking this amazing stuff, would they flock to Starbucks for fancy milky-sweet coffee drinks? I suspect [...]

Normally I put my Raw Cocktail recipes out on Friday nights, but this evening has the feel of a weekend night in my home so I’ve officially moved Friday to Thursday. No three-day weekend for me, but Festive Thursdays are a fun treat! This raw cocktail is made using fresh grapes and freshly squeezed lime [...]

If you love the astringent fruitiness of pomegranate and the taste of fruit with chocolate, you will enjoy this antioxidant-rich chocolate smoothie and (optional) Raw Superfood Cocktail! Combined with hemp seeds to make it creamy, there’s enough superfood fuel in this drink to see you through much of the day (or night). This recipe uses [...]
