This bottle of Ritual Zero Proof was gifted to me. Introducing the first of many recipes to come with this alcohol alternative. You won’t miss the alcohol. In case you were wondering. The flavors are specific and pronounced without being overpowering. Most certainly comparable to the spirit intended to mimic when mixed.
This summer slushy will be a go-to for sure for those I don’t feel like drinking for whatever reason days.
Cheers! The Vera!
The Vera
Ingredients
2 oz Ritual Zero Proof Tequila alternative
1 1/2 cups of Pitaya Foods frozen aloe vera chunks
1/2 cup of fresh organic cucumber and a ribbon to garnish
1/2 oz agave (I used a Whole Foods brand 365)
1 whole fresh washed green lime (only need half for this recipe)
Salt for the rim of the glass
Method
Wash cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully slide vertically from top to bottom of the cucumber with light pressure to create two or three ribbons. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cut a lime in half. Use a lime to moisten the rim the glass. Add salt to a saucer and roll the glass in salt and set aside. Refrigerating your salt rimmed glass a superior choice. Put a cold thing in a cold thing keeps the original cold thing cold. Besides you know you love a frosted glass. Save the half for the finishing squeeze once the drink is in the glass.
Rough slice the cucumber. Skin on is my vote. Add to blending machine with all other ingredients. Blend until smooth slushy consistency. No ice needed as the frozen aloe vera chunks the « ice ».
Remove the glass and cucumber garnishes from refrigerator. Pour slushy mixture into the glass. Top with garnish. Squeeze the juice from the fresh lime used to rim the glass pre salt for brightness, over the drink.
Glass: Glass bucket glass. Melamine if pool side.
Garnish: Cucumber ribbons
