Lisa's Weekly Coffee

Celebrating Earth Day!

Earth Day should be celebrated everyday because the Earth is Beautiful! As a celebration to our spectacular Earth I want to share a few of my favorite drinks, which include one cocktail and three organic drinks. The Greentini cocktail ( make it earth friendly by substituting it with organic vodka), and for the organic drinks I like: Pom-aniac, Organic Globe Drink and finally The Planetary Punch. The pom-aniac drink is so refreshing and delightful! Pomegranate, lemon and cucumber come together with a harmonious bitter campari....um um!!
You'll enjoy the Organic Globe as the simple syrup along with the organic vodka and orange juice make a delightful drink to celebrate this beautiful day.
Finally the Planetary Punch is the absolute of all favorites as we celebrate the Earth with it's tropical delights.

Big, brassy pomegranate and lively lemon find a counter beat in smooth maraschino cherry and cool cucumber, but it's that crucial splash of bitter Campari that really makes this symphony of flavors come together in delicious harmony.

1 thin peeled organic cucumber round, quartered
2 ounces organic pomegranate juice
1 1/2 ounces Square One organic vodka
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed organic lemon juice
1/2 ounce organic agave nectar
Splash of Campari
1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur or Cointreau
Club soda or sparkling mineral water
Organic lemon twist for garnish


In a tall glass, alternate the pieces of cucumber with layers of crushed ice. Pour the pomegranate juice, Square One organic vodka, lemon juice, agave nectar, Campari, and maraschino liqueur into an ice cube-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then strain the mixture into the glass. Top off with club soda and garnish with the lemon twist.
