Juice Hack: Mock That Toddy

October 31, 2017 By Jen Chase

Admit it: Sometimes during the holidays you wish five-o-clock-somewhere was around 10 a.m.

S’okay. We do, too.

For when all of us just hafta, hafta adult hard—when daydrinking wouldn’t bring us anywhere but down, or for when we happied our hours too hard and need a kinder, gentler hair of the dog—The Juice Standard’s Co-Founder and COO Marcella Williams gives you a fantastic spirits-free spin on a classic.

The hot toddy is a known cocktail cure-all for cold and flu symptoms thanks to its ingredients that mimic (and in some cases mirror) the stuff in over-the-counter meds…but with hella more taste and way less dye. But the toddy’s also a delicious cold-night sipper. Or on any night. And despite not having the whisky, bourbon or rye that makes a hot toddy all that and more, this recipe’ll do the trick.

All you need is…

  • The Juice Standard’s Bee Royal (roughly 8 ounces)
  • Splash of raw apple cider vinegar (roughly 1 ounce)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (roughly 1/8 teaspoon or half that, pending your taste for it)
  • A stove-safe pot or microwave-safe mug

We like stirring our potions on the stove so we can better control the heat, but a microwave will do. Just stir it every now and then so the cinnamon doesn’t clump.

As we’ve said before, our bees beehind the counter are so damn crafty, it’s a rare day that our juices or nutmilks are only used in one way. We’re always thinking of new thises and thats…which is why we wholly support hacking any and all our menu offerings so you can get the most from your purchases…no matter when you buy (or sip). Or, what time of day. #BeecuaseNoJudgment.

Got some hacks of your own? Email ’em to info@juicestandard.com and TJS’ Content Director, Jen Chase, will be happy to share ’em on our social channels (once we test them…natch). As for our hacks, we’ll be adding them in dribs and drabs to our own social media and right there on these pages. Keep an eye out so your belly will be satisfied.

Menu Update: Newz About Booze

June 30, 2017 By Jen Chase

Love The Juice Standard’s cold-pressed cocktails at our location at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (which we affectionately refer to as “The Buzz?”) So do we, and we’re not the only ones: we’ve been thrilled that they’ve gotten press like this love note from Vegas Seven, this one from Las Vegas Weekly, and this one from VegansBaby.com, and we’re more thrilled that our fanbees have kept these drinks on their tongues since we launched ‘em last year.

Last year. Has it been a year already? While #TimeFlies means that’s kinda cray, we’ve got news about a handful of new cold-pressed cocktails on the menu, as well as a few changes to a few tried-and-trues you might want to know about as this summer gets her rightful start.


NEW

Chill The Eff Out.

Fuhgetabout chocolate and peanut butter, beecause these are the two next great tastes that taste great together. Combining Bee Chill (watermelon-cucumber-lemon) with Effen’s™ Cucumber  vodka and ginger beer makes for a refreshing bevvie that’ll keep your cool no matter how hottt Vegas is outside.

 

The Pineapple Express. Don’t leave The Cosmopolitan without one.

SLIGHT-OF-HAND CHANGES

Shake Your Money Maker

Now Sip This: Our Cocktails…Your Kitchen

July 5, 2016 By Jen Chase

Back in May, you devoted Bees might remember that our co-founder and CEO Jamie Stephenson was asked to participate in wellness expert Sheree Clark’s “What The Fork?” online summit, featuring other folks in the wellness community, like Jamie, sharing their personal paths toward their WHealth™ and glowing self.

More than 100 listeners were so inspired by Jamie’s come-to-juicing moments, they signed up to beecome a part of The Juice Standard’s growing Hive so they could receive our monthly newsletter (From The Humble Bee) right in their inbox.

But nowwwwww, we want to bring those very same recipes to each and every one of our beeautiful juicers. Beecause, hell, it’s July, and what sweatier better month to stir up a few delicious, nutritious bevvies of the adult variety to enjoy with those you love? (And, natch…those who love juice!)

What follows are actual recipes—actual recipes, Bees!—served at our juicery “The Buzz” at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Of our three Las Vegas Valley stores, The Cosmopolitan’s the only place in Las Vegas pouring a full menu of cold-pressed cocktails…a handful of luscious elixirs combining choice liquors with our cold-pressed juices and nut milks.

mixology

(Talk about up-leveling your cocktailing to something almost healthy. Wows.)

With these recipes, you can now plan your day’s next “happiest hour” with some WHealthy™ sippage on us. And for you teetotalers who really like the sound of these but want a liquor-free experience, ditch the hooch. And we should also note that these recipes feature TJS’s signature blends as mixers, so your at-home concoctions might not taste exactly like ours unless you get your hands on our bottles.

(Uptick? If you make or buy your own juice or nut milk to replace the TJS versions, you might come up with something even better.)

((We said might.))


QUEEN FOR A DAY

Serves 1

 The Juice Standard’s combination of Bee Royal (apple, lemon, ginger…like a slightly spiced lemonade); brandy or bourbon (it’s the sipper’s choice); and enough ginger beer to make everything go down nice and tingly, reminds you of a Dark & Stormy with a side of citrus attitude. Lightly alcoholic and fully flavored, the Queen For A Day is perfect for languid hours in the surf or sun, or a night where you crave a slow and steady buzz to get your groove on.

 

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces The Juice Standard’s Bee Royal (Don’t live in Nevada? Juice your own apples, lemons and ginger to your personal taste, or procure something similar from your favorite local organic juicery.)
  • 1.5 ounces brandy or bourbon
  • 3 ounces ginger beer

 

 

Method

In a shaker filled with ice, combine the Bee Royal and liquor of choice and stir until combined. Strain into a 12-ounce glass filled with ice, and top with the ginger beer. Want it fancy? Garnish with candied ginger, step back and swoon.

The Happy Russian

Serves 1

 The Juice Standard’s Bee Happy nut milk is the base of this drink that mimics the most epic chocolate milk you’ve ever had, minus the milk, and then spiked. The Bee Happy itself contains raw cashews, Brazil nuts and walnuts, as well as raw local honey, cacao, vanilla bean, pink Himalayan salt, alkaline water, and coconut water. Then, it combines with grownup liquid glee for some dreamy, creamy goodness in a glass.

 

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces The Juice Standard’s Bee Happy nut milk (Note: Don’t live in Nevada? Sub in your favorite homemade or store-bought nut milk and add raw cacao powder and agave to achieve your desired choco-creaminess.)
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • ½ ounce Kahlua
  • ¼ ounce Crème de Menthe (optional)

Method

  • In a shaker filled with ice, combine all ingredients and shake vigorously for approximately 30 seconds (this creates ice flecks in your drink that will help keep it extra cold). Then, strain and pour over ice in a glass of your choice (we like one that holds about 12 ounces).
  • If you made it minty, garnish with fresh mint leaves. Don’t like-a da mint? Grab a microplane and shave dark chocolate over the top for a pretty presentation.

Encourage Mom’s Play With ‘Queen For A Day’

May 3, 2016 By Jen Chase

Queen for a day nl

Question: Did you ever drive your mother to drink? (At least that you know of?) On the off chance you still do did, this month—in honor of Mother’s Day—here’s The Juice Standard’s best recipe for salving the world of hurt our teenage selves laid on Moms. It doesn’t even involve therapy.

It’s a breeze, really: Take her to The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and hand her a bevvie worth all the love and care she spent turning you into the human being you be.

Queen For A Day

So what exactly is this Moms-worthy concoction?

Queen For A Day (also on the TCOLV menu as King For A Day…because we don’t discriminate, Yo) is Marcella’s mixology masterpiece of BEE ROYAL (think spicy lemonade), plus a brown liquor of your choice (like bourbon or whisky) topped with the sassy spice of some ginger beer.

If we had to tell you what to tell Moms it tastes like, we’d compare it to a Dark & Stormy but with a side of citrus attitude. Imbibed by you and your BFFs it would perfectly fuel your night on a casino or dance floor. Enjoyed with you’re with Moms on a Kid-Momma Night out, it would be a perfectly light little pre-supper sipper to get you feeling cozy enough to rehash those stories you know she and your dad are just waiting to roll out the night before your wedding.

Drink up, Sistahs and Bruthas. Grab your mutha. Enjoy a cold one on us. And maybe plan to elope.
