It’s the 4th of July weekend and I hope you are doing something absolutely amazing!
In the spirit of your holiday spirits, I wanted to share with you my very favorite summer cocktail. It has Rosemary and Grapefruit essential oils in it because 1) they taste awesome and 2) Rosemary is liver protective and Grapefruit helps with detoxification.
This makes these two oils the perfect candidates for my summer cocktail recipe.
Ingredients:
5-6 oz of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice (we buy from Fresh Pressed)
5-6 oz fresh pineapple juice
5-6 oz soda water
3 oz. tequila (use the good stuff)
1 drop Rosemary essential oil
1 drops Grapefruit essential oil
Directions:
Rub the rim of the glass with a bit of grapefruit. Swirl the rim through a small pile of sea salt to salt the rim.
Add the grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, soda water, Rosemary essential oil and Grapefruit essential oil and tequila into shaker, shake with ice for 15 seconds.
Add ice cubes to your glass.
Strain and enjoy!
Whipping up a batch of these surprisingly delicious, (dare I say nutritious, LOL not even) cocktails can help you enjoy your weekend guilt free ;)
NOTE: If you’re a serious light weight and prone to the 1-drink hangover (this is me), keep a water with lemon or grapefruit essential oil close by. Be sure that for every cocktail, you enjoy a glass of citrus essential oil infused water (about 1 drop per 12-16 oz of water).
Citrus oil aids in detoxification and pH balancing, taking the edge off of these hangover factors.
Cheers to your beautiful summer week of fun!
