Right now at Williams-Sonoma and through Vitamix’s site, you can get an extra container ( like the dry grains container) for only $50 with the purchase of a new full-size Vitamix machine through 7/31. Customs salts for everyone! They make great gifts packaged up in a cute container paired with baked goods or a bottle of booze ( I wouldn’t mind getting THIS gift *wink-wink*!) Throw in your ingredients into the dry grain container ( not just for grains, my friends!) a few pulses and you have your own flavored salt for cocktail rims! I did say we were going for easy peasy, didn’t I? You can use a mortar and pestel that takes a bit of grinding to create the salts or simply use a Vitamix. I might even try mixing all of them together for my next round! In this case, I chose jalapeño, lime + rosemary salts to add to the drinks which all pair phenomenally with the grapefruit and gin. Jalapeño adds some spice, while lime adds a citrusy zing + rosemary adds a lovely earthy flavor. You can serve one or a few custom cocktails at a party and guests can choose what flavor salt they are feeling like. And did I mention, flavored salts are super easy to make? They can be customized to everyones flavor preferences which means it’s great for a party.
To mix things up a bit, flavored salts can be used for the salt rim to change the flavor profile a bit. I preach fresh is best, but it is especially key when there are only a couple of ingredients in a drink- quality + freshness is really important.
Switching the vodka out with botanical gin and you have the makings of a darn fine cocktail with minimal effort!ĭon’t skimp when it comes to the fresh grapefruit juice here. Seriously it’s that easy! But can it be improved upon? You betcha! Adding salt to the rim makes it a Salty Dog ( oh how I love drink puns!) It is a refreshing drink that is a thirst quenching tipple. If you have never had a Greyhound, it is one of the easiest drinks to make. The tart, boozy Greyhound cocktail is your best friend during these times, ya’ll! Phew! It’s even bright, sunny, and in the 80’s here in Seattle ( from where I currently sit writing this post.) That being said, it’s time for some refreshing drinks that require little to no effort.
