Healthy, antioxidant-rich drinks are still on the rise and showing no signs of slowing down. And after studies showed that adding alcohol increases health benefits (here's a post I did on it), fitness conscious - but happy hour loving - people are using them to mixing up healthier cocktails. (Sounds like an oxymoron, but they are.)

A new entry into the healthy drink category is PURPLE, made from seven of the most potent antioxidant-rich juices available, including açai, black cherry, pomegranate, black currant, purple plum, cranberry and blueberry. (I can feel the free radicals dying already.)

Not only would it work as a great smoothie ingredient, The Palm restaurant on the West Side of Manhattan has been using PURPLE as a mixer in martinis, and here's the recipe. Skip the smoothie after your next workout and have one of these instead.

PURPLE Martini
4 oz PURPLE
2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Triple Sec

Fill a shaker with 1/2 cup of ice. Combine vodka, triple sec and PURPLE. Shake and strain into a LARGE chilled martini glass. Garnish with a wedge of fruit if desired.
