The Original Quarantini Cocktail. If you're stuck in lockdown, self isolation or quarantine and missing that social drink - here is the perfect quarantine cocktail to boost immunity and refresh your taste.
Meet the Quarantini - An easy Lemon Honey Martini with emergency vitamin C! It's the most delicious way to boost your immunity. Quarantini and chill anyone?
What is a Quarantini?
It’s an alcoholic drink you drink in lockdown. It is that straight forward... literally any alcoholic drink you are drinking! Under these circumstances you have my permission to call it a Quarantini on principle of being in lockdown or quarantine.
This recipe however is the Original Quarantini - all the enjoyment of a Martini with added benefits of a health and immunity boost. A Honey Lemon Martini with optional quaratine powdered Vitamin C boost. Don't worry if you're not into a martini, either switch out gin for vodka - or go ahead and call any drink you’re currently enjoying a Quarantini if you are busy social distancing.
What ingredients does a Quarantini need?
With the world is chaos and literally everything low in supermarkets, luckily you only need a few ingredients to make a Quarantini. I'm sure you already have everything you need. Vodka or gin, lemon (or lemon juice), honey, water (i'm sure you have that) and a boost of vitimin C is you desire.
How do I add vitimin C to a Quarantini?
Firstly, this is optional. Yet, I do recommend it. It does give you a health immunity boost, plus it also adds a bit of fun and authenticity to the Original Quarantini recipe:
-
Rim of your glass. Just like you would with salt. Truly authentic and and beautiful cocktail.
-
Ingredient in Quarantini. Add it to your martini and shake away.
-
Take it straight. Oooooh. A shot :) A healthy one in this case. Take it like a shooter. Take a straight shot of your Vitamin C before taking a big drink of your quarantini.
