A delicious drink that will soothe your tummy and lift your mood without the booze! And since it’s an alcohol-free martini your whole family can enjoy it!<\/span><\/h4>\n
I was in the mood for something “je\u00a0ne\u00a0sais quoi”<\/em>\u00a0… Something fun, an\u00a0after dinner drink, a desert… Not sure. But I knew I didn’t want a sugary desert or an alcoholic drink…(not always good for your tummy).<\/h5>\n
I wanted something more like an indulging “digestif<\/em>” like we,\u00a0Europeans, like to call it \ud83d\ude42<\/h5>\n
And that’s how my “Healthy Zesty Martini” was born!<\/h5>\n
It’s fun, it’s refreshing, it satisfies your sweet tooth and it even soothes your tummy without the booze! And since it’s an alcohol-free martini your whole family can enjoy it.<\/h5>\n
But if you need a boost, don’t let me stop you! Feel free to add some gin to it and make it a totally approved healthy-zesty martini! \ud83d\ude42<\/h5>\n
It\u2019s the perfect refresher\u00a0for a hot summer day, just in time for Memorial Day, so your whole family can enjoy it and celebrate in style!<\/h5>\n
\u00a0Plus, the ginger and aloe vera make this a therapeutic drink for your gut and overall health, so bottoms up!<\/h5>\n
Let the summer begin! Cheers \ud83d\ude42<\/h5>\n

What you Need<\/span><\/h4>\n
\u2665<\/span>\u00a0 3 large slices of watermelon<\/h5>\n
\u2665<\/span>\u00a0 1\/2 lemon (peel on)<\/h5>\n
\u2665<\/span>\u00a02-inch long ginger root<\/h5>\n
\u2665<\/span>\u00a03-inch long agave leaf (optional)<\/h5>\n
\u2665<\/span>\u00a02 cups ice<\/h5>\n
\u2665<\/span>\u00a0Mint leaves for garnish<\/h5>\n
\u2665<\/span>\u00a0Juicer<\/h5>\n

Makes approx. 4 servings<\/em><\/p>\n

How to Make<\/span><\/h4>\n
Steps 1.<\/span><\/strong> Juice everything, except for the mint and ice. If you decide to use aloe vera (which by the way is very good for your tummy) don’t be surprised\u00a0if you’ll notice a jelly-like consistency coming out of your juicer. It’s normal, as it has a jelly kind of pulp. To make things smoother, you can juice the watermelon and aloe vera together.<\/h5>\n
Step 2.<\/span><\/strong> In a martini shaker add the ice and the juice (split the juice into 2 batches if needed and repeat the process). Shake well for about 30 seconds to chill and mix.<\/h5>\n
Step 3.<\/span><\/strong> Strain the juice into fancy martini glasses and garnish with mint leaves and watermelon pieces. Cheers!<\/h5>\n

Note: You can store the juice in the fridge, in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.<\/em><\/p>\n
