Time For Your Friday Cocktail with Mover and Shaker Kelly Sasuga and Peachy Deegan! Mini Flower and Herb Crystals by Fresh Origins Highly Recommended by Whom You Know. Introducing the newest innovation in the amazing world of creative drinks!
NOT JUST FOR FRIDAY-FOR EVERYDAY: Unlike other glass rimmers, these are pure flavors from the whole flower & herb leaf, with no other flavorings or colorings added! Carefully hand-harvested at the peak of flavor and color, the Fresh Origins fresh herbs & edible flowers are combined with pure cane sugar to create these vibrant, crunchy, flavorful crystals.
Available flavors are: Fresh Basil, Fresh Mint, Fennel Flower & Rose Petals. Just like the original Herb & Flower Crystals™ but with a finer granule, these unique crystals are perfect for inspiring forward-thinking mixologists. The crystals can even be tossed into a cocktail & used as a flavorful ingredient & a splash of color. They look stunning at the bottom of the glass, & will still be semi crunchy to be savored in the last sip. And with a drink named after her, Peachy Deegan would like to think she knows a thing or two about cocktails and these four gems will set you apart from the rest. We would like to pride ourselves on being tremendously creative and we could not do it without Fresh Origins. With Kelly on the West Coast and Peachy on the East Coast, we do hope all of America will participate! Say cheers.

“This is the key to reinventing your favorite cocktail & really making it stand out!”
Well we're going to listen to you Kelly and keep these in mind as we reinvent our favorite cocktail with Star Vodka by Mover and Shaker Charles Ferri. If you don't know our favorite cocktail, look at the column directly underneath "Unique to Whom You Know." It has a nice name we think. The Peachy's Pantry Panelists were absolutely thrilled to try these amazing new innovations, and they rave:
Now that spring has sprung, it is time to celebrate! The best way to do that is with fancy cocktails! How can you make your average drink a bit more unique? It's really very simple. Just add Fresh Origins Mini Herb and Flower Crystals to the rim of your glass. They have four gorgeous and tasty varieties - Rose, Basil, Fennel, and Mint. The Rose crystals make a perfect complement to a refreshing mimosa. The Fennel crystals are a real treat and pair well with a good citrus cocktail. I also love the Basil and Mint crystals because they are my favorite color - green! I'm really looking forward to my next party, so I can impress all my guests with Fresh Origins new creation!
Glass rimming - how much is there to it? Salt, sugar, that's it, right? Wrong! Thanks to Fresh Origins, there is a whole new world of glass rimming! Their creative line of mini crystals make the art of creating cocktails even more fun than usual. These herb and mini flower crystals are pure flavors from the flower and herb leaves, with no other flavors or colors added. The herbs and flowers are harvested at the peak of flavor and color and carefully combined with pure cane sugar to create the vibrantly colored and remarkably tasty crystals. The flavors offered are Rose, Basil, Fennel, and Mint. All of the crystals are both visually stimulating and bursting with flavor. The rose crystals are beautiful on champagne cocktails or cosmopolitans, the vibrant yellow fennel crystals are a great match for citrus-y or tropical drinks, the basil crystals work well with fresh, fruity flavors like berries and lemon...and, of course, the mint crystals seem custom-made for mojitos (my favorite summer drink)! A true breakthrough in the wonderful world of cocktails!
I love a nice cocktail. In my mind there is nothing finer than a beautiful tasting drink. Don't you just love it when you go to a swanky bar and the drink looks just as good as it tastes? Fresh Origins now gives you the secret to making those amazing looking drinks with their Mini Herb and Mini Flower Crystals. These cool glass rimmers not only look pretty but taste great too. They offer unique flavors to kick up your cocktail, such as Fresh Basil, Fresh Mint, Fennel Flower and Rose Petals. They had color, flavor and an overall wow factor to your home bar. Impress your guests with your mixologist skills and make them the cocktails they only think are served at the bar. Now drink up!
New concept! And so much fun for the mixologist in your circle. Fresh from the ingenious folks at Fresh Origins, crystals are here. Add magic at the table, or at the bar. Four firsts that lend a hint of crispy texture and concentrated taste! The basil is delightful on salads, or to edge your glass of green in the morning. Try it in a Virgin Mary at brunch, or on your scrambled eggs for a pop of flavor. The scope is limited only by your imagination: use them on desserts (some say that basil and chocolate are a marriage made in heaven), in salads, as a gourmet garnish. For a happy note at every meal, these little crystals will transform. Herb crystals in Basil, Mint, and Fennel, and flower crystals in Rose. Fresh Origins promises more to come, in this innovative and exciting new product they have developed. The crystals contain only sugar and fresh whole flowers and/or herbs, raised in sunny San Diego. They'll give you a crystal edge in the kitchen.
After my daring escapade with Begonia stems I'm ready for the Crystals on Cocktails review. It's Star Vodka. It's straight. It's on the rocks. In truth I'm not so shaken I need a stiff drink, it's that I don't want the Crystals to have to compete with orange juice or even tonic.
MINT
The mint comes through loud and clear. Usually vodka is served with a wedge of lime, but it's like the lime isn't really there. It gets overpowered. You might as well not bother. This Mint Crystals are very much there, and lovely.
BASIL
Not what I expected, but I was expecting spaghetti. A touch of pine, but honestly I mostly taste the sugar.
ROSE FLOWER
Again, a very subtle taste. When I eat them straight there's a faint taste of roses, but the alcohol overpowers it. It does make an attractive garnish on the rim though.
FENNEL FLOWER
This I can taste. It's as strong as the Mint. To me it's lemon/vanilla. As far as a worthy compliment to Vodka goes though, Mint is my hands down favorite.
One last thought about these Crystals. Perhaps they would make a nice topping for cupcakes. A Devil's Food cake with lemon icing, and these Crystals sprinkled on top. I don't know that these flavors are for children, so they could be Cupcakes For Grown Ups.
