Adults are advised to get in four to five servings of vegetables every day — but no one ever never they can't be in liquid form. Or mixed with tequila.
Some might wonder why anyone would ruin a perfectly good shot of vodka or rum with something green and healthy. But skilled bartenders all over the world have the answer, and are finding creative ways to sneak in those vitamins and minerals all the while getting their customers tipsy.
This isn't just about adding a splash of tomato juice in a Bloody Mary or garnishing a Gibson with an onion. Mixologists are using everything from peas, artichokes, and kale to carrot juice and beet juice in drinks, and FEMAIL has rounded up some of the most interesting options around the US.

Awwww Snap! is a 'classic martini with a sugar snap tarragon syrup twist'
Street Beet, which features muddled beets mixed with gin. The purple drink also includes lime, blood orange, basil syrup, Campari, and cynar
Kale
Boozy Bunny is made with rum, vanilla, nutmeg, and carrots
What will you do with the wine?
This is my prejudice...but if you are going to lose money you should do it on guns! lol
Too many carbs.
How about mixing up a nice High Protein Whiskey Sour in your Bass-O-Matic? :-)
The first pic reminded me of a drink I make called the “Dead Grasshopper. “
Salt the glass, pour in tequila and garnish with a dead grasshopper drizzled with chocolate.
Delicious.

I’m reminded of the line from Spectre:
Clinic Barman: Here you are, sir. One prolytic digestive enzyme shake.
James Bond: Do me a favor, will you? Throw that down the toilet. Cut out the middleman.
Husband used to drink moderately, so I enthusiastically bought him fine wine, like a case of Petrus. In my best days I could actually do vertical sniffings - tell the same wine apart by years. I’m used as an alcohol detector in bars. If I sniff the glass and can’t smell alcohol, they send the drink back. Then he lost interest in wine and now the cellar, I fear, is turned to vinegar except for the best ones with the most tannin which I hope SOMEDAY he’ll investigate and try. Confession: I couldn’t resist dipping a finger in the ‘61 Lafite Rothschild and tasting it. It was everything they said it was. No matter what I tried - water, crackers, etc. - I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth!
mmmm mmmm mmmm.....MEAT! LOL!
British in India used to take their anti-malarial tonic and local lime to make it more palatable.
So doing same with healthy veggies makes sense.
Cool!
Is that an ACME Keg?
A mere fad. Alcohol kills off any nutritional benefit either through direct contact with the blend or by immediately shifting your body from absorbing nutrients to ridding itself of the toxins (alcohol). The digestive process restarts after the alcohol is no longer a threat. Which could take hours.
What a contrast in those last two pictures, with the plastic Tokyo Pop furniture from Driade (Italy) vs. the dark woods and leathers of the Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog.
Yes. One you can clean with a hose.
Wow, I could’ve had a V8!
