I'm a teetotaler who collects wine. Can't even imagine these.

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.

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.

Sounds intriguing, but the closest I ever get to veggies in my drinks is pickled asparagus or a celery stick in my Bloody Mary.

Days of wine & spices: Essential mulled wine

This made me think of the Sonicprep Homogenizer from PolyScience ($4999) that opens up all kinds of possibilities of infusing flavors into liquids.

Here's a video showing "barrel-aging" of an un-oaked Chardonnay. There's also one on there showing emulsification of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (with no other binders). Lots of possibilities.

Sobriety test drinks. If you’re willing to drink that you’re drunk, no more.

Dear, I am headed to the bar to get healthy.

[GnuThere]

How nasty.
Have a glass of water and a green juice, then head to the bar.

My 6th great grandfather, Edward Antill, the adopted son of the pirate Giles Shelly, co-won an award for producing in America 'those Sorts of Wines now consumed in Great Britain.'

An ESSAY on the cultivation of the VINE, and the making and preserving of Wine, suited to the different climates of North-America, 1769



The part I found disgusting was where they sealed the casks with horse dung. "For this reason the lining of the inside of the casks with rosin, as the Romans did with pitch, prepared as hereafter directed, would be a great means of preserving wine, not only from the air but from great waste; and the bung and vent-hole should be well secured with clay and horse dung: if you are under apprehensions that the rosin will communicate a bad taste to the wine; melt it, and wash it with lye, and that will prevent it."
