The Green Tornado!

Summer is finally here! Of course, summertime brings bbq's, summer outings and fun picnics...and pool side cocktails!

One cool trick I have learned lately is to add lots of greens to your cocktails so that you are at least still getting some benefit from your drinks. How do you pull this off? Introducing the Green Tornado!

Try this next time you're out and about under the summer sun.
