Tart greens-based juice stands in for lime juice in this twist on a gimlet. Because nothing says "healthy" "ish" like adding alcohol and sugar syrup to green juice.
Combine the Super Green Juice, gin and Simple Syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 8 to 10 seconds. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a cucumber slice.
Super Green Juice:
Yield:8 to 10 ounces
Juice, in this order, the lemons, apple, romaine, cucumber and greens, following your juicer's specific settings for each. Serve the juice immediately over ice, if desired.
Simple Syrup:
Yield:About 1 1/2 cups
Bring the sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. When the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and cool the syrup to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 month.
