<< The Antipasto
Martini at
Sorellina
One Huntington Ave., 617-412-4600
Heaven knows that most of us could use more
vegetables in our diet, and the folks at
Sorellina have figured out two surefire ways
to con veggie-phobes into putting some green
into their diet—namely, put those veggies in
a drink, and make them invisible, to boot.
The eatery’s Antipasto Martini consists of
Reyka vodka infused with a produce section’s
worth of healthy veggies, including red,
yellow, orange and green peppers, carrots,
cucumbers and celery, and served with a blue
cheese-stuffed olive. Sure, you could’ve had
a V8, but with a libation this luscious
available, why would you?
The Power Shake at
Om >>
92 Winthrop St., Cambridge,
617-576-2800
Most of the time, you wouldn’t consider your
cocktail of choice part of a workout
regimen. (Unless, of course, you choose
hoisting a brew or two as a way of building
up your biceps.) But Om mixologist Clif
Travers has come up with a concoction that
unites the bar crowd with the barbell crowd
in his Power Shake—a mix of fruit liqueurs,
pureed strawberries, vanilla vodka, soy
milk, protein powder and wheatgrass juice. A
word of warning: much like you would with a
normal protein shake, you’ll probably want
to limit yourself to one of these bad (but
good) boys.
<< The Bloody Good
Idea at Redline
59 JFK St., Cambridge,
617-491-9851
Who hasn’t sought to cure a hangover with
that magical elixir, the Bloody Mary, at one
time or another? Vince Conte, general
manager of Redline, offers his own take on
the famed “hair of the dog” cocktail with
this mixture of Grey Goose L’Orange Vodka,
Luvli brand spicy tomato juice and a splash
of ginger liqueur. Garnished with spicy
pepper jack cheese and Cajun croutons, it’s
almost like drinking a salad.
The D’Luvli
Carrot Cocktail at
Eastern Standard
>>
528 Commonwealth Ave., 617-532-9100
Growing up, we were always told to eat our
carrots so we’d have good eyesight. (Perhaps
your parents even gave you the old “Have you
ever seen a rabbit with glasses?” as proof
that it works.) Eastern Standard bartender
Doug Taylor obviously believed: he created
the D’Luvli Carrot Cocktail by combining
Luvli Zingy Carrot Juice with Schonauer
Apfel Schnapps, Sailor Jerry rum and a
splash of sparkling wine to create a chilled
and vibrantly colorful cocktail that can
only help you catch the eye of that cute
little bunny at the other end of the bar.
<< The Green Tea
Potion at Douzo
131 Dartmouth St., 617-859-8886
Green tea is thought to be one of the
healthiest substances a person can consume,
with scientific evidence that it contains
antioxidants that help protect against
certain types of cancer and lower
cholesterol, while also possibly staving off
rheumatoid arthritis and heart disease. So,
do your body a favor and try Douzo’s Green
Tea Potion, which contains Charbay green tea
vodka, unfiltered sake, and a splash of
green tea itself. Then, do your body another
favor: stop drinking in time to get a few
hours sleep before the big presentation
tomorrow morning.
