Ooze

Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael began as mere turtles until they encountered a canister of mutagen that transformed them in to the lean, mean, green incredible team. The bright green toxic waste that mutated them was later dubbed “Ooze” by the turtles. We promise our version is free of toxins, but it just might turn you into a hero in a half shell. Go ahead, give it a try…

Turtle Power!

Cremma Lemma

Red, White, and Bubbly

Get ready for the 4th of July with some fizzy fun! We’re keeping this one nice and simple so you can just sip and relax this holiday weekend.

Here’s what you need:

untitled-2-300x225-2

1 tbsp strawberry puree

2 oz Cremma Lemma

3 oz champagne

(Really, though, you can use whatever ratios you like).

untitled-3-300x225-2

Don’t forget! The cream in Cremma Lemma rises to the top and forms an all-natural plug in the neck of the bottle, so if you’re trying to pour but nothing is coming out, just give it a good shake! And if a little piece of the plug pours out, eat it! It tastes like boozy cheesecake. BONUS!

untitled-7-300x225-1

And now for the cocktail …

First, chill all ingredients and glassware.

untitled-6-300x225-1

Spoon 1 tbsp strawberry puree into the bottom of a chilled martini glass.

untitled-13-300x225-2

Sit the spoon on top of the puree, then gently pour Cremma Lemma into the bowl of the spoon to layer.

untitled-9-300x225-2

Just like so.

untitled-20-300x225-2

Carefully top with chilled champagne.

untitled-22-300x225-2

Cut the bottom of a strawberry for garnish.

untitled-21-300x225-2

Beautiful.

untitled-25-300x225-2

Add a festive blue straw to complete the patriotic look.

untitled-35-300x225-1

Red, White, and Bubbly with Cremma Lemma SweetShine.

Cheers, and Happy Independence Day!
