JUICE OF A FEW FLOWERS
Steps:
- Combine the orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and vodka, if using, in a pitcher. Dip the rim of 6 martini glasses first in a dish with lemon juice and then a dish with sugar. Set aside to dry.
- When ready to serve, place ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, add the cocktail mixture to fill the shaker three-quarters full, and shake for about 30 seconds. It's important to shake for a full 30 seconds to get the drink very cold and dilute it slightly with the ice. Pour into the sugared martini glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint. Continue filling the shaker with ice and cocktail mixture until all the drinks are poured. Serve ice cold.

Tips:
- Use fresh flowers: Fresh flowers are essential for making vibrant and flavorful flower juice. Choose edible flowers that are free of pesticides and herbicides.
- Choose the right flowers: Not all flowers are edible. Some flowers, such as lilies, daffodils, and hyacinths, can be toxic if ingested. Stick to edible flowers like roses, violets, pansies, and lavender.
- Wash the flowers thoroughly: Before using the flowers, rinse them gently under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a blender or juicer: You can use either a blender or juicer to extract the juice from the flowers. If using a blender, add a little water to help the blending process.
- Strain the juice: After blending or juicing the flowers, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.
- Add sweeteners: If desired, you can add sweeteners like honey, agave nectar, or stevia to taste.
- Serve immediately: Flower juice is best served fresh. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
