What could be better than spending long glorious days basking in the sun before slipping into this season’s trends to sip on a sunset-view summery cocktail? I cherish every moment of the summer months I spend between New York and Miami, catching up with loved ones. The bad news? Most seasonal favorites are overflowing with concealed sugars and fats. Read on for the ultimate guide to healthy summer drink recipes.
1. Organic or biodynamic wine.
These wine options are upgraded vino selections to avoid added sulfates and other nasties.
2. Go fresh!
Avoid premade mixers, which are overflowing with sugars, preservatives, and color additives. Use fresh, natural ingredients such as berries, lime, fresh mint, lavender, cucumber, and lemon to sweeten and flavor your beverages naturally.
3. Give Kombucha a whirl.
Kombucha (homemade or a natural readymade alternative) is surging with antioxidants. The vitamin B-rich drink may even help you defend your body against hangovers.
4. Coconut water.
Coconut water is a superhero thanks to its miracle-working electrolytes, which help prevent dehydration.
