A Breath of Fresh(ies) Air

12.04.2008

The Bite:
imageWanna make a change for the better...happy hour? Inhale a few cocktails blended with Freshies. Bloody Marys to Pomegranate Mojitos, these mixers are made with the real stuff, like fresh fruit juice, hand-chopped horseradish and garlic, and sweetened with cane sugar or agave nectar. No neon coloring, fake flavoring, or high-fructose corn syrup - and they're all made right here in Denver. We mixed up a batch of Watermelon-Raspberry Martinis that seriously tasted like we crushed the fruit ourselves. Ahh...
Wanna Try: 
Freshies mixers, available at Argonaut Wine & Liquor, 700 E. Colfax Ave. Map It (303-831-7788). Watermelon-Raspberry Martini Mix, $7/quart.

Cocktail Fact

Ben Franklin was so convinced of fresh air's health benefits that he took an "air bath" every day - naked in his bedroom with the window open.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters sip cocktails shaken (or stirred) with chem-free mixers, we'll keep the weight of eight bar stools in questionable ingredients outta our bodies.
