Eat, Drink and Be (Sort of) Healthy

    • The phrase happy hour doesn't usually imply healthy behavior. But there are new cocktails on the bar scene that, while not exactly health supplements, do use natural and vitamin-packed mixers. In New York City, Stone Rose boasts martinis made with a mix of Beefeater's Wet gin and Glaceau Power-C Vitaminwater, while Sumile features the Eric Mason 50/50, which combines vodka, yuzu lemonade and oolong tea. Atlanta's Inman Park Patio has an herbal-green-tea martini. Koi in Los Angeles offers a cocktail with rice liquor, green tea (again) and Midori. And for the soy conscious, Fly Bar in San Francisco serves the 5-0 — a mix of sake, soy milk and pineapple juice.
