Vegan Lotus Flower Power
The Lotus is the most spiritual of all flowers. It blooms in murky, muddy waters, a true adaptogen, and symbolizes compassion, courage, kindness and beauty from the inside out.
Can a cocktail bring us to a state of bliss? It can if what goes in the drink is organic, clean, sustainable, and kind to all life. Here aquafaba takes the place of egg whites to create a high vibe vegan version of a Margarita Sour. It is the liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas, and the easiest way to get it is to simply strain a can of chickpeas. You can shake it and whip it and it will react just like egg whites. It may seem complicated but it’s actually quite easy to make at home resulting in a light and slightly sweet cocktail with a creamy finish.
When shaken with organic tequila, lime juice and agave syrup you get a craft cocktail that embodies the One With Life Organic Tequila philosophy. Sipping this whimsical cocktail reminds us to be joyful and exuberant, and brings us back to the present moment.
2oz. One with Life Organic Tequila Blanco
1oz. lime juice
1oz. aquafaba (garbanzo water/ chickpea water)
1oz. agave syrup
4 dashes bitters (we love a smoky floral essence here)
Add tequila, lime juice, agave syrup & aquafaba to a shaker. Cover and shake hard, shifting the fluid from the top to the bottom of the shaker. Strain into a glass over ice. Garnish with edible rose buds and dehydrated lime.
