We just had a 3-day weekend and it didn’t quite feel long enough to me. Did it to you? I don’t think so- particularly in light of the terrible weather across the country. Here in LA, we had rain across the LA basin and there was SNOW in the local mountains —in MAY! Talk about a shocking weather report. One can bundle up to have a bbq but going swimming or hitting the beach just doesn’t work when the weather is that cool.
Here are some great cocktails with “good-for-you” ingredients that will be surprisingly tasty.. and a great sip whether it’s with dinner or by the pool this coming weekend. These recipes are courtesy of Liana Werner-Gray.
Werner-Gray is a versatile, multi-faceted person who has accomplishments in many areas. She is a national bestselling author of 3 recipe books, a Health and Nutrition Coach, a celebrity chef, and wellness advocate.
These recipes are her Top 3 Most Refreshing Adult Beverages with a unique and healthy twist! These recipes are found in this book:

2 cups fresh pineapple,
4 celery stalks,

Juice the pineapple, celery, cucumber, and lime in a juice machine,

16 oz Kombucha,
2 oz tequila or vodka
Combine all ingredients into a shaker with ice,
cover and shake vigorously until chilled,
Strain into a cocktail glass.

Dip edges of the glass in a plate of salt and set aside.
add the rest of the ingredients, shake well, then serve over ice.
