Virgin Limoncello Spritz

This is such a refreshing drink to serve your guests on a summer day. I am very lucky to have some lemon trees growing in our complex, so we have more lemons than we know what to do with. So, of course, I had to make a lemon drink, and this virgin limoncello spritz is so perfect to make with fresh, homegrown lemons. You could even make it a cocktail by reducing the sparkling water and adding some prosecco, if you’re feeling naughty.

Probiotic Pineapple Tepache

This is a Mexican fermented pineapple drink that is fresh, full of probiotics, and slightly fizzy. I especially love this drink because it uses the pineapple skins and center that usually go to waste, and it always makes me happy to use every part of a fruit.

Normally, it is made with piloncillo, which is an unrefined, caramel-like sugar, but I did not have any on hand, so I just used white sugar resulting in a more clear liquid in contrast to the dark liquid you would normally see in traditional tepache. It was very delicious and makes a perfect drink to go with your next Mexican dinner night.

This is my new favourite drink this Spring. It is refreshing, deeply hydrating, and the perfect cooler while you sit by the pool.

It’s a mocktail, but can easily be turned into a cocktail by adding a splash of rum or vodka if you’re feeling naughty.

Almond Milk

Stop buying almond milk from the store and make your own instead. Have you ever read the label on store-bought almond milk? The ingredient list likely contains way more than just water and almonds (hello emulsifiers, sweeteners, oils, binding agents, flavourants, etc.). So if you think you’re picking a healthy milk alternative, you are sadly mistaken.
