Tired of the Bubbly after the Holidays? Ready to cleanse your body and liver of toxins but want a tasty alternative? Try these two Mocktails!
The first one I was inspired to try after my trip to Mexico….it’s refreshing! Don’t let the green color deter you! If you want to Spike It – try a shot of Tequila or Mescal!
It’s Easy Being Green
1 oz Kale Juice
3/4 oz Ginger Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/3 oz Agave Syrup whisked with 1/3 oz of Hot Water
Directions:
Combine all the above ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Shake and pour over a glass filled with ice cubes. Top off with club soda (I used sparkling water). Garnish with a lemon slice dipped in cayenne pepper (I skipped the cayenne pepper part)
The Doctor Will See You Now
2 oz Beet Juice
1 oz Carrot Juice
1/2 oz Ginger Syrup
1 oz Lemon Juice
Directions:
Combine ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Shake and then strain into a highball glass over ice. Top with a splash of tonic water and garnish with a cucumber slice.
Spike It – Trade the Ginger Syrup for Ginger Liqueur and add 1 1/2 oz of Gin.
