Collab #2: Citrus Aloe Cocktail

For our second collaboration Brigitte and I got together to create a Citrus Aloe Cocktail. She was generous enough to contribute Aloe Leaves from her Aloe plants in her garden. My Grapefruit tree is bearing at the moment so we decided to try this combination for our cocktail. It turned out really well!

You will need:
Cutting board
Knife
Tablespoon
Blender
Cool straw

Ingredients:

1 large Aloe leaf

1 cup Citrus juice(In our case 1 large grapefruit provided the juice)

1 tablespoon of Vinegar(optional)

6 ice cubes(optional)

a pinch of salt(optional)
a few mint leaves
1 lime slice

Step 1: Gather your ingredients.

Step 2: Using a sharp knife peel the skin off the leaf

Step 3: Using a spoon remove the clear aloe gel and reserve

Step 4(optional): If your aloe gel has a yellow layer on it, use the vinegar to rinse it off. This yellowish fluid will make the drink bitter if left on.

Step 5: Add ice cubes to blender

Step 5: Add Aloe Gel to blender

Step 6: Add Grapefruit juice in a manly way

Step 7: Will it Blend?

Step 8: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with crushed mint leaves and a slice of lime. I decided to add a splash of bitters as well.
