This one’s for all peeps looking for a non-alcoholic drink! This is a healthy version of a cocktail that is not only fun but tastes delicious. It is packed with tons of immune boosting ingredients such as lemon, ginger and star anise…but your guests won’t even notice it’s super healthy until they start feeling amazing!
I love the festive color of this drink that makes it really fun for special occasions. I recently found some awesome cactus cocktail glasses but you can put them in anything, get creative and have fun with it!
This recipe is totally sugar free, gluten free, dairy free and of course alcohol free (unless you want to add some tequila or vodka in these for the non-sober folks!)
I love these because personally I don’t drink and I love having a better option than water at a party etc! These have been a huge hit with everyone but I love the idea of providing fun and yummy mocktails for those who don’t drink.
They are super easy to make as well! Basically you just blend everything in a high speed blender like a Vitamix and voila!
This is the one I use and absolutely love. It works wonders, especially for drinks like this when you want to perfectly puree things like citrus peels and seeds!
