Adults are advised to get in four to five servings of vegetables every day but no one ever never they can't be in liquid form. Or mixed with tequila.
Some might wonder why anyone would ruin a perfectly good shot of vodka or rum with something green and healthy. But skilled bartenders all over the world have the answer, and are finding creative ways to sneak in those vitamins and minerals all the while getting their customers tipsy.
This isn't just about adding a splash of tomato juice in a Bloody Mary or garnishing a Gibson with an onion. Mixologists are using everything from peas, artichokes, and kale to carrot juice and beet juice in drinks, and FEMAIL has rounded up some of the most interesting options around the US.

Sounds intriguing, but the closest I ever get to veggies in my drinks is pickled asparagus or a celery stick in my Bloody Mary.

I went from homebrewing (beer) to Blending(beer)
HomeBrewers Have more dos and don’ts than other cults.
Especially boiling non-grain stuff (that’s already been boiled to get what it is!
;)!
***
Mostly Blend IPA now, and/or DIPA when I can find HopSlam or Bro Benjamin.
Best in/for IPA is (for me) a dash of SoComfort, Honey, maybe a slight dash of vanilla creamer!
Beats the usual c**p*** found in most watering holes!
Just Plain Dick @ Planet WTF!

This made me think of the Sonicprep Homogenizer from PolyScience ($4999) that opens up all kinds of possibilities of infusing flavors into liquids.
Here's a video showing "barrel-aging" of an un-oaked Chardonnay. There's also one on there showing emulsification of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (with no other binders). Lots of possibilities.

Sobriety test drinks. If you’re willing to drink that you’re drunk, no more.

My 6th great grandfather, Edward Antill, the adopted son of the pirate Giles Shelly, co-
won an award for producing in America 'those Sorts of Wines now consumed in Great Britain.'
An ESSAY on the cultivation of the VINE, and the making and preserving of Wine, suited to the different climates of North-America, 1769
The part I found disgusting was where they sealed the casks with horse dung. "For this reason the lining of the inside of the casks with rosin, as the Romans did with pitch, prepared as hereafter directed, would be a great means of preserving wine, not only from the air but from great waste; and the bung and vent-hole should be well secured with clay and horse dung: if you are under apprehensions that the rosin will communicate a bad taste to the wine; melt it, and wash it with lye, and that will prevent it."

You can now buy V8 Bloody Mary mix that is essentially their standard blended tomato juice with red and black pepper and lemon juice added. Quite healthy if you read the label.
