Green Tea-Tini image

Based on a recipe from Esther Blum's book, Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous, a nutritionist's guide to living well while living it up. She adds, "Green tea is also loaded with polyphenols and antioxidants, improving the nutritional content of your alcoholic bevvie." This is certainly a starting point for those trying to add green tea to their diet! This is one of my all-time favorite vodka martinis! :)

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
lime slice (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Pour in green tea, vodka, and Grand Marnier and shake vigorously for 20 seconds; this will enable tiny ice crystals to form in the vodka.

  • Swish the lime juice around the glass and discard the remnants.
  • Strain the shaker contents into the prepared martini glass and garnish with lime slices.
