How to Make Your Cocktails Healthy <\/h2>\n

The #1 tip to keep your cocktails healthy is to use fresh ingredients.<\/p>\n

Fresh is best, always use fresh squeezed juices vs. anything bottled or things like margarita mix. Whether it is fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, fresh grapefruit juice or anything, be sure to always stick to fresh!<\/p>\n

Another way to keep your cocktails lean is to skip the simple syrup, maple syrup or any added sugars.<\/p>\n

Making the healthiest cocktails means less sugars so while it may not be as sweet as you want it, the drink will be more fresh tasting and delicious.<\/p>\n

One last tip to make cocktails skinny is to use sparkling water or similar vs. soda.<\/p>\n

You want to skip using soda as much as possible.<\/p>\n

A great example here is with the Paloma, don’t use Squirt or grapefruit soda but use a good grapefruit sparkling water, still tastes amazing and significantly less calories!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Use fresh ginger for a nice little kick. This is an amazing add for moscow mules as well!<\/p>\n

Making fresh drinks with less sugars will also help with hangovers! The less you use all these sugars etc and the more you do straight fresh or natural ingredients the better you will feel in the morning!<\/p>\n

With all that said, let’s get to some healthy cocktail recipes!<\/p>\n
