Hi all! It's time for another minisode - I mean MOONYSODE!. Today, we're talking about the December super moon - the Cold Moon.
Jump in while we talk about the moon, rituals for this time of year, and drink a full moon martini (recipe below).
During the pod, we mention that we are going to try to recreate the energy/look of the martini with a different recipe since neither of us loved this version enough to want to drink more of them - so look for a future mini-moony-sode when we reveal our winners!

Full Moon Martini (energy: protection, rebirth, tranquility)
- Ingredients:
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz pomegranate liqueur*
- Edible blue glitter (or butterfly pea flower tea)
- Large ice sphere
- Directions:
- Add all ingredients into a mixing glass and stir for 30 seconds. Strain into a coupe glass over a large ice sphere.
- Note on tea: Butterfly pea flowers create an intense indigo blue color that change to purple when acid is added. It’s a perfect replacement for edible blue glitter for rich, vibrant color. Simply brew it strong, cool it, and add about ½ oz in place of the glitter.
- * If you don’t have access to pomegranate liquor, simply replace it with pomegranate syrup, or a mix of pomegranate syrup and triple sec.
