Michelle Harris is back with some great mocktails that are perfect for summer sips. The great part is that when you are sipping these “cocktails” you don’t have to worry about the amount you drink and — the best part– you are drinking something healthy for your body.
Summer Mocktails to Help You Beat the Heat!
Hot Trend Alert: Mocktails are also nutritional powerhouses!
By Michelle Harris
Looking to have a great-tasting drink without alcohol? So are many celebrities! Natalie Portman and Brad Bitt are just a few of the stars who stay away from alcohol. RHBH cast member, Dorit Kemsley even has her own line of alcohol-free sparkling wine!
Thanks to the hottest new trend, “mocktails” you can enjoy alcohol-free creations that also pack a nutritional punch! I have added powerful antioxidants like Sambucol Black Elderberry syrup in many of my mocktails to help support a healthy immune system. Using healthy fruit, natural sweeteners along nutritious add-ons take any drink to the next level.
