“Greens” & Tonic

Our take on a gin and tonic – a refreshing summer spritzer with or without the gin. Use any greens powder you have on hand. 

Serves: 4
Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 English cucumber, roughly chopped
• 3 tbsp Green Blend 
• 2 tbsp simple syrup (optional)
• 4 8-oz bottles tonic water
• 6 oz gin (optional)
• 2 tbsp raw honey
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar
• Cucumber slices and thyme, as garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the greens mixture by adding the cucumber to a high speed blender and blending until liquified.
2. Use a strainer or cheesecloth to strain the cucumber liquid from the fibre/pulp into a mixing bowl. (Save the pulp for smoothies or tzatziki).
3. Add Green Blend and simple syrup to the bowl and whisk well.
4. Chill 4 cocktail glasses. Add the honey and raw sugar to separate plates and spread evenly. Dip each glass in honey, then sugar to rim.
5. Add 3 tbsp greens mixture to each glass, then fill with ice. Pour gin and tonic water over top and serve with garnish.
