We can’t beat around the bush here, alcohol definitely isn’t the *best* thing for you – but, it can be okay to indulge in a drink with friends every now and then. Why not make those splurges a bit healthier, though?
There’s no need for added refined-sugars, artificial flavors, colors or other scary additives for a drink to be fun! We’ve found some healthy-ish, fall-themed cocktail recipes to add to your festivities this weekend. Also, if mocktails are more your ‘thing’, plenty of these mixes offer enough flavor sans-alcohol and will still give you all the fall-feels.
We hope you enjoy them as much as we do – cheers!
