Mocktails & Music: Making Healthy, Kid-friendly Mocktails (Non-Alcoholic Cocktails) and a little Music on Wine Glasses Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran concoct and create in the kitchen, aiming for some mouthwatering mocktails. They also try their hands at making music with wine glasses.

Wine Glass Music: Did you Know?

Fall is here and that means that we're coming to that part of the year when families gather and big dinners are served. That also means that there will likely be wine glasses on the table. These also double as musical instruments. In the 18th century, a musical instrument made of glasses was introduced. It allowed the musician to create songs simply by rubbing a finger gently along the rim of the glasses. You can do the same thing with the wine glasses on the Thanksgiving table. The friction caused by your wet finger sliding along the rim causes the sides of the glass to quiver just enough to cause a vibration to be transmitted to the air. That results in a sound much like a musical note. The amount of water in the glass determines the degree of vibration and therefore impacts the pitch of the note.

Music-Worthy Mocktails

When they aren't exploding in our faces, mocktails are pretty magnificent. Whether you're serving them to friends or just enjoying them on your own, you can create some pretty fantastic (and some not-so-tasty) concoctions by combining your favorite liquids and spices. For this episode, River made a Moscow Mule Mocktail, while Terran got super creative and made what we are calling a Sweet & Spiced Pineapple Mocktini.

Moscow Mule Mocktail

Ingredients

3 second squirt of lime juice
1 TBS agave syrup
1/4 cup club soda
3-4 mint leaves (torn, optional)
3/4 cup Ginger Beer (make sure it's non alcoholic)
crushed ice

Directions

In the bottom of the cup squirt lime juice, then add agave syrup and club soda.
Add 2-4 mint leaves and fill the cup halfway with ice
Pour ginger beer over the concoction, until just below the rim.
DO NOT SHAKE IN SHAKER - it will explode on you, like it did on River!
Garnish with more mint and a lime wedge
Enjoy!

Sweet & Spiced Pineapple Mocktini

Ingredients

½ C crushed pineapple
6-8 large ice cubes
1 squirt of lime juice
2 tsp honey
1/4C seltzer

In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran talk indoor gardening with an expert on the subject.

Gardening: Did you Know?

Did you know that more than 50% of the food grown in this country goes to waste? It feeds the bottom of trash cans, instead of feeding the millions of Americans that rarely get to taste freshly grown foods.

LettuceGrow saw the problem and set out to help the average American - even city dwellers - start their own mini farms. It is all done simply, conveniently, and takes up very little space, thanks to the Farmstand.

Meeting an Indoor Gardening Guru

For this episode, River and Terran met with LettuceGrow's co-founder, Jacob Pechenik, so we can learn more about LettuceGrow's take on sustainable food.

Jacob is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a longtime farming and gardening enthusiast. He's founded or co-founded multiple brands devoted to solving problems related to food, addressing issues such as logistics, waste, chemical use, and more.

After growing all of these fantastic veggies, we had to prepare something for the family. The following is the recipe we used. Check out our social media accounts for bonus footage of us prepping the lettuce wraps.

Feed the Family: Garden Fresh Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

2lbs ground chicken
2T avocado oil
1 small onion, minced
2 cups bell pepper
1 can water chestnuts, minced
4-6T soy sauce
6T hoisin sauce
2T sesame oil
2T rice vinegar
2T peanut butter
2T honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
