Citron Cleanse

Ariana People in LA hike. A lot. And then they want something reasonably healthy to quench their thirst. And everyone is always doing a fucking cleanse. You can be out on a Friday night with a friend who is blacked out and they will still make plans to work out the next morning. It may sound backwards, but people are doing their best. This cocktail is that mix of health and gluttony. Low-cal, but still boozy. And remember, you’re doing great, sweetie. SERVES 1

• 2 lemon wedges
• 4 drops liquid stevia
• 3 cucumber slices
• ¼ ounce liquid charcoal (optional)
• Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 ounces organic artisanal vodka
• ½ ounce grapefruit juice
• Sparkling water

Garnish: Kale leaf

Special Tools: Cocktail Shaker, Muddler, Lo-Fi Filter

Glassware: Mason Jar

Spirit: Vodka

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lemon, stevia, and cucumber slices. If desired, add the liquid charcoal and pinch of cayenne pepper to aid in a speedier metabolism and detoxification. Fill the remainder of the shaker with ice. Add the vodka and juice. Shake well and pour into a mason jar over fresh ice, or into a BPA-free tumbler you can hike with. Top with sparkling water.

Garnish with kale.

Go on a hike and take a bunch of selfies so we know you went. Not necessary to hike all the way to the top. Selfie while you drink. Post on Instagram using a filter. #Cleanse #FitFam #FancyAF
