Sour Apple Martini with Asparagus Foam – April Fool’s
Remember when a lot of you thought I was sharing an asparagus cocktail last week?
Well…as crazy as it sounds, that concept just kind of stuck with me. All weekend long.
I couldn’t get the idea of an asparagus cocktail out of my head! How nuts is that?! And since you all know that I’m up for trying anything, I decided that I should just go for it and make one.
I thought about it long and hard, and this was my final creation.
A sour apple martini with asparagus foam. The foam is well…foamy. And the flavors go so well together! It is like it was meant to be. I might have discovered a new food pairing! The crunchy asparagus garnish takes the drink over the top.
How come no one has ever thought of this before? I don’t want to stall any longer, so without further ado, here is the recipe…
APRIL FOOL’S!
Did I get you?! Ok, but seriously. Who got just a little bit terrified when they spotted the title of today’s post?
{Full disclosure: This non-edible “martini” was made with water, green food coloring, and…dish soap (for dramatic effect). No asparagus were harmed (ok, two asparagus were harmed) in the making of this cocktail.}

All I could think about while I was reading this was how the asparagus foam would make my pee stink. Now I’ll never know 🙁
Hahaha. This was seriously the best April Fools joke of the day. I wonder how many people read the title and then clicked away thinking you’re completely off your rocker. Haha. Although it’s a bit like a car crash – it’s just so horrifying you can’t look away! 😉
Bahahahaha! I read this title and was like… um, whoa! She really did it… Ha!
Feeling a little bit like I should report you to APS (asparagus protective services) for this unruly behavior…. 😛
Hilarious, Laura!
Thanks Annalise! Glad I didn’t scare anyone off for good!
Ha! You got me. As i was reading I kept thinking “she is brilliant”. Love it.
Brilliant?!? More like, crazy! Haha! 🙂
Okay—-you got me. The picture looks beautiful. I was reading along trying my dang best to think of what that would taste like. I am not fond of sour apple anyway. I love surprises! And jokes.
So you get a gold star
Thanks Carol! I have no idea what this would “taste” like–but I don’t want to find out!
HAHAHAHA you’re the freaking best!! xx
YOU are the best! xo
girrrl I ALMOST ex’d out being all no-she-freaking-didnt!!! you def pulled one over me! lol
and now I’ll have a sour apple martini, please 🙂
HAHAHA! I don’t think I’ve ever had a sour apple martini?! I’m not sure if anyone will ever take me seriously if I post (a real) one! 🙂
Wuahahahahahhahahahaha. I saw the picture on Instagram earlier, and totally though it was a joke, and then I was reading the beginning of the post and totally thought it wasn’t. SO glad it is. 😉
Yesss….this makes me so happy!
hahaha that was funny!
My first thought was boy, that sure is an electric green color…and then really? she thinks that would taste good together?!
The funny part, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt as I scrolled down to see ingredients! lol
Oh my god, I love this. I can’t believe you were willing to give me the benefit of the doubt!
Thankfully I’m not crazy enough to actually want to make this for anything other than an April Fool’s Joke!
Well done, Laura! loved this! Looks like something we would have concocted in Kindergarten! Beautifully grossening!
I totally thought you were serious. As much as I love asparagus, I don’t think I could get down with it in my beverages!
Yeahh…the whole concept makes me want to gag, haha!
omg, L. You GOT ME! I always read your newsletters on the train to work, and this morning, I was FOOLED!
After you mentioned that the foam is dish soap, it looks exactly like it.
Good job for fooling everyone! LOL
-K 😛
So, so funny! Happy to oblige!
I was fresh off another April Fools’ joke when I popped over here, so I had a sneaking suspicion . . . but I was still happily surprised by the end! 🙂 Very funny!
So many people thought I was serious!!!
Love this!! (And yes … you got me 🙂
I can’t believe how many people believed me! What does that say about my recipes?! HA!
Totally forgot about April Fools Day until I got to the disclaimer! Thanks for saving me from further heart failure today! Good one Laura!
Oh no! 🙂
i seriously thought you were serious. i just almost texted you.
Hahahaha!!!
what is in that glass, it looks gross?!
Read my disclaimer at the bottom! 🙂
I once had mushroom foam, so for a minute, actually a long one you had me.
Too funny!
I fell for this big time! I was describing the pictures to the girls at work and was like, ‘how gross does this sound? Why would anyone do that?’ I’m a sucker!
Oh my gosh–this is hilarious! I hope you let them know it was a joke 😉
Hahaha! “Ew” & “she may have lost her mind” ran through my head while reading this!
HA! Love it.
Hahaha….this totally just made my day! Best.April.Fools.Joke.Ever.
Hehe 🙂 Thanks Kelli!
