Chiatini Chia & Acai Martini

Martini: Acai & Chia Citrus Burst

Ok, so alcohol is never healthy but it’s often made worse with carbonated, chemical filled sodas or sugary juices and mixers. This martini does use alcohol but it’s balanced with the goodness of acai and chia.

 
Ingredients:

Double shot (3.0floz/89ml) Citrus or Mandarin Vodka

Double shot (3.0floz/89ml) Acai smoothie/juice

1 tsp Chia Seeds.

Ice

Directions:

Chill the martini glass with ice and water. Fill the martini shaker (or you can use 2 beer glasses and put one inside the other-top to top) Pour the acai juice and vodka into the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds. Empty the ice/water mix from the glass and fill with the martini (drain off of the ice). Garnish with the chia seeds and any other tropical fruit. Sip, relax and enjoy!


Always drink responsibly and in moderation
