14 Drinks to Welcome 2014

December 28, 2013 by Sarah 2 Comments

You overindulged during the holidays, feel sluggish and unhealthy come January first, and you decide to clean up your act diet. You resolve to be a healthier you. Sound familiar?

What if it doesn’t have to be that way? What if you could ring in the New Year without feeling guilty?

I reckon you can, and I’m going to tell you how. And it doesn’t involve not having any fun, either!

Enter… the real food cocktail. A cocktail which tastes delicious, gets the party started, but doesn’t violate Real Food principles. The kind of cocktail that may contain probiotics. The kind of cocktail that won’t make you feel guilty when you wake up on January 1st. I’ve even added a good dose of mocktails for those who don’t want to, or can’t, drink on the big night. Because everyone deserves to have a blast!

Let’s ring in the New Year the Real Food way!

Eight Real Food Cocktails
Working clockwise from top left:
Hot Toddy by jarOhoney
The Brown Derby over on Gourmande in the Kitchen
*Berry Coconut Kefir Sangria created by A Harmony Healing
Green Apple Ginger Martini by Gourmande in the Kitchen
Hot Buttered Rum created by The Curious Coconut
*Strawberry Daiquiri by me!
Spiced Brandy Cider over on jarOhoney
Grand Mimosa by Gourmande in the Kitchen
Six Real Food Mocktails
Again, clockwise from top left:
Clementine Rosemary Spritzer over on jarOhoney
Poached Pear Smoothie by jarOhoney
*Cranberry Collins Kombucha created by Common Sense Homesteading
*Kombucha Mojito over on Healing Cuisine (I know this is a mocktail, but Elise assures me it would be totally okay to add rum to it!)
*Cranberry Ginger Smoothie by Happy Healthnut
*Apple Clove Kombucha on Real Food RN
And a bonus recipe: Head over to jarOhoney once more for some Fizzing Strawberry Lemonade Ice Cubes – I think these would be FANTASTIC in a glass of champagne on a hot summer’s day. 😉
* indicates that the recipe contains Kombucha or Kefir – an extra benefit!

    Nice work there on the cocktail-o-rama! I’m looking forward to my home brewed Ginger beer with a slug or two of pomegranate Kombucha and some vodka slushy (because I can’t make it freeze)
    Love Pippa x
