This yummy drink comes from Pure Food and Wine in NYC and is spelled out in the owner's latest book, Living Raw Food.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! Sarma Melngailis, the author, owner of Pure Food and Wine and raw food maven, gives you endless tips for incorporating more raw food into your life. She's also the pretty lady drinking this tini in the photo.

Check out Sarma's book for more sake-tini and raw cuisine recipes. This girl really knows what she's talking about.

Master Cleanse-tini

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups sake

• 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 3/4 cup filtered water

• 2/3 cup maple syrup
• 
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1/4 cup coarse crystal date sugar



Recipe:
Combine all the ingredients except the date sugar in a bowl or other container and mix to thoroughly combine. Place the date sugar in a shallow bowl or small plate. Wet the rims of the martini glasses and dip them into the date sugar, as you would if you were salting the rims of glasses for a traditional margarita. Shake the liquid over ice in a martini shaker and pour into the martini glasses. 



Cheers!
