Earth Day is April 22nd. While Earth Day isn’t the typical “let’s have a get-together and serve canapés and cocktails” kind of occasion, there’s nothing wrong with feteing after doing a service project. The mixologists at Skinnygirl Cocktails have come up with a collection of cocktails that allow us to celebrate in style.
Planet Earth Cocktail
1 ½ Parts Skinnygirl Cucumber Vodka
3-4 Parts soda water
Cucumber wheels for garnish.
Combine ingredients over ice. Garnish with cucumber wheel.
Nature Nectar
A delicious, grown up take on Strawberry Basil lemonade.
1 ½ parts Skinnygirl Bare Naked Vodka
2 large strawberries, sliced.
3-4 basil leaves
Splash of soda water
Muddle one strawberry with basil leaves and vodka. Add ice. Slice the other strawberry and add to the cocktail. Top with a splash of soda water.
Going Green
Going Green is like a mojito, with a twist!
4 mint leaves
1 large basil leaf
1 lime wedge
1 ½ parts Skinnygirl Cucumber Vodka
3 parts soda water
½ tsp agave nectar
Squeeze lime wedge into glass. Muddle lime wedge with mint, basil, and vodka. Add ice. Top with soda water. Add agave nectar and stir. Garnish with mint leaves.
Don’t these sound tasty? Will you be making any of these cocktails for an upcoming event?
These are amazing! Can’t wait to try them (all of them!) Maybe it will bring some sun and push away all the rain.
Those look amazing!
I ‘m not a skinnygirl, I’m a wannabe skinnyguy but I would be happy to drink these. Pinned to my drinks board.
YUM! These are great ideas, I want to try the Planet Earth cocktail!
I love how they look in the mason jars. So yummy!
Those look great =) YUM
Love the names of these cocktails. I want to try them all!
They definitely know how to make a cocktail look amazing and inviting! And very refreshing.
Love this and I would love to share with my readers too!
Wow! These make you want to grab one and have a taste!
YUM! I never heard of Skinnygirl cucumber!
Oh my gosh! I had no idea there was a brand called Skinny Girl! I can’t wait to try it!
Nature’s Nectar makes me want to get my drink on right meow!
ooooh nature nectar looks divine. these would also be great Mother’s Day cocktails. 😀
Those all look delicious and “skinny” is what I need. Thanks for the recipes, I’ll have to try them out.
I like the drink posts becasue I learn so many new and low calorie drinks that I can try out for the summer. I like the drink called Nature Nectar, and their is fruit in this drink making it healthy! That is what I think!
Sign me up for some Nature Nectar 🙂
