This could be one of the healthiest cocktails out there. Did I just say, healthy? I sure did. I have been on a juicing spree the last few weeks and have been playing around with combinations of different fruits and vegetables.

One morning, I just wanted a simple juice so I threw in 2 pears and 2 apples into the juicer. It was so fresh and thought it would be the base of a perfect cocktail. Now, it was still the morning…so later that afternoon (ok, it was like 1 pm) I started playing around with creating a cocktail out of it. I added a little honey to sweeten it and decided to make this a gin cocktail. And, well damn. It was incredible! It’s different, it’s fresh, it’s easy to make and will for sure wow your guests heading into the Holiday season.

Ingredients:

This recipe makes 2 cocktails…

  • 2 apples

  • 2 pears

  • 1 tbsp of honey

  • 2 oz of Gin

  • Rosemary sprigs for garnish

  • ice

Directions:

  1. Cut the fruit in quarters and remove any seeds. Process the fruit through the juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, simply add the fruit to a blender and process until smooth. Strain to remove the pulp.

  2. In a cocktail shaker; add a handful of ice, fresh juice, gin and honey. Shake or stir.

  3. Strain and pour into two cocktail glasses.

  4. Garnish with Rosemary and serve immediately.

This cocktail can also be done with store-bought “smoothie” juices if needed.
