So I might be dressing like it’s fall, but that doesn’t mean I can’t drink like it’s summer (mom, close your eyes)! And when it comes to cocktails, I prefer a no-frills, refreshing drink. So when I stumbled upon a recipe that infused my favorite ingredients, I had to try it out.
It’s pretty easy to throw together, but I recommend letting it sit for a few minutes so that all the flavors can kick in. Cheers!

I know my past food-related posts haven’t portrayed me in the healthiest light. Yes, I’m a sucker for mac n’ cheese, sweet treats, and desserts, but I also have another obsession: juicing. As soon as my friend Sarah turned me on to juicing, I immediately ordered my juicer and a recipe book and have been in love with ever since.
Raw, fresh juice is wonderfully rejuvenating and great for your energy, skin, digestion, and immune system. It’s a quick and delicious way to take in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other phytonutrients. And the pleasure of making it yourself is definitely an added satisfaction.
My favorite juice is currently the Cucumber Refresher. The combination of pears and cucumber creates a subtle, yet refreshing flavor, while the ginger root (just an inch or less) provides an energy and immune boosting zing.
Cheers and happy weekend!
