Treating my Crohn's with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet
I just had one one of these from the Two Tarts blog and it was awesome:
This wintery drink features fresh squeezed clementine juice, which is shaken vigorously with three whole cloves and a measure of bourbon. The whole cloves are what is special here – they give off the perfect tiny amount of their essence without overwhelming the drink.
Mr. Obvious says, “eliminate the sugar on the rim and it’s good to go for SCDers”.
A very refreshing summertime drink. I highly recommend giving it an try. This cocktail is an adaptation of a John Collins which is a variation of the Tom Collins.
Ingredients:
1 shot of bourbon
Four ounces (half cup) of lemonade concentrate
Seltzer or sparkling water
Ice
Directions:
1. Make lemonade concentrate by combining equal parts lemon juice and honey.
2. In a tall glass mix lemonade concentrate with bourbon.
3. Fill glass to 3/4 full with seltzer water.
4. Add ice.
5. Imbibe.
Notes:
Goes down easy.
Have you ever made my Fresher Salsa? Then you know that it can produce a fair amount of liquid.
Try this: Strain out the liquid and use it for a Bloody Mary cocktail. One cup of juice to a shot of vodka over lots of ice. Go ahead, give it a taste. I think you’ll be pleased with its spicy freshness.
Perhaps a stalk of cilantro for garnish? Or maybe a split jalapeno? Lime might look good too…
