So a ton of our friends are embarking on these silly things called cleanses. New year, new you and whatnot. Apparently you’re not supposed to drink while detoxing (insane, we know). Obviously this sort of self-deprivation doesn’t fly with us—so we’ve devised a detox of our own. The “Kanon Cleanse” if you will.
How does it work you ask? Make our “Red Dawn” cocktail, and drink as many as possible. The Red Dawn is filled with red pepper (and antioxidants?) so drinking one of these is akin to eating a salad—but with vodka...even better! What can we say, we’re always looking out for your health. So muddle some peppers this weekend and cleanse the Kanon way.
Ingredients:
2 parts kanon
¼ red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 thyme sprig
¾ part lemon juice
½ part simple syrup
pinch of salt
Muddle thyme and red pepper in shaking tin with salt, lemon juice and simple syrup, add Kanon, shake, strain into collins glass with ice, top with soda, garnish with thyme sprig. Created by Jan Warren at Dutch Kills
