Yummr's Main Dish
- Happy Hour Organic Style, Anyone?
-
Cocktails have made their way onto the healthy living scene, as part of the trend in leaving trans-fat, fried goodies, and ginormous portions behind in exchange for lighter, fresher snacks (even Dunkin Donuts is selling smoothies). An article in the NY Times features the availability of organic cocktails made from fresh strawberries, pomegranate, or veggies like cucumbers.
Liquors are even starting to pop up with less sugar and syrup and more antioxidants and vitamins. “Everybody seems to be getting healthy,” said Mark Murphy, the executive chef at Ditch Plains, a restaurant in the West Village of New York.
Make your own organic cocktails with ModMix. You can pick up a bottle for $14.99 at BTC Elements.
What do you foodies think? Is a healthy cocktail a step in the right direction, or is it still just a cocktail and not a health-drink? Who would've ever thought cocktail + healthy drink would be in the same sentence... - Posted Jul 27, 2007 by themagster | 2 Comments | Share It

Have you ever heard of Stirrings?

Stirrings is a line of cocktail mixes and rimmers made from the best ingredients and it doesn't hurt that they taste SOOO good. Great for a summer party...check it out
Excerpt from site:
At Stirrings, we use only the finest cane sugar, only the freshest juice, and triple filtered water. We can't claim that drinking is healthy, only that better, brighter taste can only be achieved by using great ingredients. The alternative product is manufactured using artificial colors and flavors, corn syrup, preservatives and no juice. The taste is noticeably different. Our new approach to a century old American tradition has turned heads, and made a lot of people think differently about how they make their cocktails. We like to think we are stirring up the cocktail world by helping people stir better cocktails.
Check out the Pina Colada mix at their site!

I'm still having trouble jumping onto this organic notion... I feel as though the extra cost is not wholely justified. I don't really taste a difference between MOST organic and non-orgranic foods, so the additional cost, to me, can only be justified as being more environmentally friendly. As much as I want to protect the environment, me buying organic apples for double the price doesn't reduce the amount of pesticides used to grow non-organic apples. For that, I'm not willing to pay more for the organic apples.
