Kale and Ginger Margaritas

9:46 AM

kale, tequila



Tequila and kale were meant for each other.

They are both fiesty and filled with wonderful things - some that will inebriate you and some that will actually prevent all sorts of ailments.

So you'll be healthy AND drunk. Win, win.

I've been wanting to try out an alcoholic kale drink for awhile - kale juice is a current obsession of mine. The deep emerald color alone is just too glorious not to want to play with.

Emerald like the Isle of Ireland, filled with booze just like St. Patrick's day demands, this frothy drink just makes me smile and hopefully it'll do the same for you.

The recipe is essentially this: blend equal parts kale juice,  lime juice, ginger simple syrup, and tequila with a handful of ice. Easy, peasy.


More detailed instructions below!

Kale and Ginger Margaritas
Serves 4


1 2-3 inch knob of ginger

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lime juice (this took 5 limes for me)
1 bunch kale
1/2 cup tequila
handful of ice - the more ice, the frothier your drink

1. Make your ginger simple syrup:

Take a 2-3 inch knob of ginger and roughly slice. Add to sauce pan with 1 cup water,  1 cup sugar and bring to a boil. Allow to bubble for 3 minutes then remove from heat. Allow to cool to room temp.

2. Meanwhile, juice 1 bunch kale - my juicer made just over 1/2 cup of juice from that one bunch.


If you don't have a juicer, try the blender kale juice method:

Remove the leaves from the stems and discard stems. Put a handful of the leaves in a blender with a cup of water and blend, blend, blend until smooth, slowly adding the rest of the leaves until everything is completely broken down. Pour through a seive to remove any solids and boom - kale juice.

3. Assemble ingredients in blender:

Place 1/2 cup kale juice, 1/2 of your simple syrup, 1/2 cup lime juice, and 1/2 cup tequila in a blender with a handful of ice. Blend until frothy and well combined.

Pour over ice in glasses with salted rims.




Now drink, smile, and celebrate.

    1. Hi Vanessa! Its really very refreshing - the lime and ginger are the strongest flavors, the kale provides a kind of spicy undernote.

      Really worth a try! Even my friend who hates vegetables loved them :)

  4. Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn't getting better, all they could say is for me to stay on the treatment. At the verge of giving up, I went to the internet to search for a treatment on my own at least. But I found a cure instead. On the internet, I read a testimony of a lady who had herpes. She shared an e-mail address of the Doctor. Luckily everything seemed to be okay after I took Herbal Medicine. I wish I could say that’s the end of it because I haven't had any symptoms since then. Do not expose yourself to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective. If interested, contact Dr Ikpoko via email: drikpoko@gmail.com https://drikpoko.wixsite.com/herbs You are the best Doctor sir.

  5. Hi everyone, I want to share my herpes journey with you. I've heard people say there's no cure or treatment, but I'm here to say that's not true! I was diagnosed with herpes a few years ago and searched desperately for a solution. A friend recommended Dr. Odingo, an herbal doctor who helped me with an herbal treatment. Just a month later, the herpes was gone! I took multiple tests, and everything came back negative. I'm sharing this because it might help someone. If you're struggling with herpes, contact Dr. Odingo for information about his herbal cure. : drodingoherbalhome@gmail.com or you can call or whatsApp his mobile number +2349020757088

  7. The United Nations spends $158 billion dollars a year towards research in finding a cure for infection & diseases like tremor, anxiety & depression, psoriasis, shingles, eczema, urethra wart, chronic problems. Herpes, Cancer, ALS, Hepatitis, Diabetes, HPV, Psoriasis, ulcer, respiratory obstruction. They don’t want a cure because there’s no profit in it for them and the pharmaceutical industry let truth be told please, that's more reason why I venture into herbal treatment, and I was able to cure myself from diseases that they said were incurable medically .Sometimes you don't always have to give up on everything you do and let someone else decide your fate .Doctor Lucky herbs are very essential and it has the potential to cure the so-called incurable.

  8. How he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for DR AGBOMIAN SUNDAY, In herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV. I used to have unusual vaginal bleeding and painful urination. There was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Agbomian Sunday Herbal Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using herbal medicine, and within a week I couldn't feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you order your herbal medication through. Dragbomianherbalcured77@gmail.com
