The Boy and his Poison: The Innocent Slut

There comes a time when even the most dedicated lush pines for something a little more hydrating and restorative than a Bloody Mary or a Corpse Reviver. Something refreshing, full of fruit, anti-oxidants and all those things that populate the lives of healthy clean-living people.

You could head to a juice bar to get your fix but why leave your house (and a small fortune at the till) when you could make your own at home. The Innocent Slut combines all my favourite flavours from a juice; the zing of passion fruit, tang of grapefruit (don't worry, freshly squeezed grapefruit is a world away from the sour nastiness of the concentrated stuff) sweetness from the apple and the warming wholesome sensation of ginger. It's just the ticket when you need a non-alcoholic pick me up.

You'll need (per person)

• 1 passion fruit
• 1 pink grapefruit
• 100ml of cloudy apple juice
• A thumb sized piece of ginger

Make it

• Halve and squeeze your grapefruit into a sieve over a blender
• Press the pulp through the sieve
• Scoop the passion fruit into the blender
• Wash and peel your ginger then grate it into the blender using a microplane grater
• Pour your apple juice over the mixture and chuck in a couple of ice cubes
• Pulse the blender a couple of times then leave it on a fast blend for 10 seconds
• Pour into a glass and drink that health in
