Well, with the discovery of Absolut Orient Apple vodka, we were able to make a sour apple martini using Drink Skinny original that’s tangy and crisp, without any faux anything. We’re pretty sure you won’t miss the park bench shade of green.    ~Christy

Sangria is one of my favorite recipes to make with our mixes. I love trying out different wine & fruit combinations, and never quite get the same concoction twice, but trust me, they’re all good! 

When the temperature goes down a bit in the fall, we switch to red wine sangria mode. There are so many different reds available,  you can really adjust the level of sweetness in this recipe depending on the variety you choose (we typically use a blended red.) Try it out, and let us know what you think!

Drink Skinny Red Wine Sangria:

1 bottle of red wine (we like Our Daily Red organic California table wine–no sulfites = no headache!)

1 bottle of Drink Skinny pomegranate blueberry Margarita Mix

1 can seltzer

Fruit of your choice (we use mostly citrus fruits & throw in a few pieces of whatever’s in season)

1) Chop fruit & place it into a large pitcher.  2) Pour wine into the pitcher, filling about 2/3 of the way.   3) Next, pour Drink Skinny mix in (leaving room for seltzer).   4) Add 1/2-1 can of seltzer (to taste).  5) Add ice, stir, & serve!

Cheers!

The full line of Drink Skinny Cocktail Mixers is now available at the Vermont Spirits Distilling Company gift shop in Quechee, Vt! And if you ask nicely, they might even let you sample them together.

To celebrate this new “partnership,” we decided to create a recipe that would really accentuate the crisp flavor of the Vermont Gold vodka that’s become our new favorite. Although this Drink Skinny® cucumber martini recipe is a little unconventional, we think you’ll  be surprised at how light and smooth it is. It might even become your new favorite!

Drink Skinny® Cucumber Martini Recipe (featuring Vermont Gold vodka)

Ingredients:

1.5 oz shot Vermont Spirits Gold vodka

2 oz Drink Skinny Original Margarita Mix

1 med cucumber

2 lime wedges

kosher salt & cayenne pepper

ice

1) Place kosher salt & cayenne pepper on a plate, making sure to add enough cayenne pepper to make the mixture mostly reddish-orange.

2) Rub the juice of one of the lime wedges around the rim of a martini glass, & place glass upside down on the salt and cayenne pepper mixture; set aside.

3) Peel & slice cucumber into thin slices. Places slices in a blender or chopper & blend until mixture is like pulp. Strain into a cup measure until you have 1/4 cup of juice.

4) Add vodka, Drink Skinny, cucumber juice, and ice to a cocktail shaker & shake vigorously. Pour into the rimmed martini glass & enjoy!

With all the seaonal fruits available in the summer months, it’s definitely our favorite time of year to experiment with different cocktails at Drink Skinny HQ. And we’ve found that using fresh or frozen fruit is a great way to get a lot of flavor bang for your low-calorie buck!

Here’s our version of a blackberry margarita, which calls for fresh blackberries and a little bit of Chambord. If you’ve never used Chambord before, (we hadn’t) it’s a super sweet black raspberry liqueur–a little goes a long way. But the blackberries help stretch the flavor of this awesome sauce and they’ll save you a ton of calories!

Ingredients:

5-8 fresh blackberries (you’re going to freeze them, so if you’re in a hurry, use frozen)

1.5 oz shot silver tequila

4 oz Drink Skinny (original) Margarita Mix

1 Tbsp Chambord

Sugar in the Raw to rim (if you like)

1) Freeze blackberries in a sandwich bag for about 20 minutes & remove from freezer.  

 2) Rim a margarita glass w/raw sugar & empty the bag of frozen blackberries into it; pour    in tequila & let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

3) Add Drink Skinny & Chambord; stir & enjoy!

Drink Skinny Margarita Mix, created by Steven and Christy Cegelski in Tilton, is not to be confused with Skinnygirl Cocktails, which come with alcohol included. The Drink Skinny mix is made with natural sweeteners (stevia and in the original lime mix you’ll find a small amount of organic agave nectar), real fruit juice and does not contain preservatives or high-fructose corn syrup.

You can choose from three flavors including Pomegranate Blueberry (15 calories per serving), Original (15 calories per serving) or the slightly more indulgent Pineapple Mango (30 calories per serving).

There’s no getting around the slight “diet” aftertaste, but for those looking to replace the typical high calorie mixes loaded with “fake” ingredients, Drink Skinny is a tasty – and local – option.

There is no alcohol content in the mixes, so you can add as much or as little tequila as you see fit.
