A mocktail for the no/low sugar lovers! 🥒🍋

A mocktail for the no/low sugar lovers! 🥒🍋
This healthy, cleansing alcohol free cocktail has the perfect balance of cucumber, dill and citrus plus it’s super refreshing and hydrating.
Cucumbers are a great source of antioxidants and are rich in vitamin C, beta carotene and vitamin K. With the addition of the cleansing lemon juice and hydrating sparkling water, this is one big glass of green goodness!
✨Don’t forget to save this recipe for later✨
Ingredients
🔸1/4 cup cucumber juice*
🔸 1 tsp chopped dill
🔸 1 tbsp lemon juice
🔸 1 tsp sweetener of choice (optional)
🔸 150ml lime soda water or regular soda water
Method
Place dill, lemon juice and sweetener in a shaker and muddle for about 20-30 seconds.
Add the cucumber juice and some ice and shake well.
Double strain into an ice filled glass and top with your soda water of choice.
Stir gently, garnish and serve.
Tips
*You can buy cucumber juice at juice bars, or make your own. I just grated some cucumber and squeezed the juice through strainer until I had 1/4 cup (use the leftover flesh in a smoothie later!).
If you don’t have dill, replace it with a tablespoon of dill pickle juice - as in, the juice from a jar of pickles. Sounds crazy but tastes delicious!
I didn’t need sweetener in this, but if you like it sweeter, use your sweetener of choice.
Cheers and enjoy! 🥂

Virgin strawberry daiquiri anyone? Seriously, thi

Virgin strawberry daiquiri anyone?
Seriously, this strawberry daiquiri is SO easy to make and the flavour is simply divine.
The perfect mix of fresh and frozen strawberries creates an ideal creamy texture that doesn’t separate as it melts, meaning you can take your time with each delicious sip.
🍓Virgin Strawberry Daiquiris🍓
Ingredients
🔸 2 cups frozen strawberries
🔸 1/2cup fresh strawberries
🔸 1/2 cup lime juice
🔸 1/2 cup maple syrup or your sweetener choice (see notes below)
🔸 Non alcoholic white rum, or a few drops of bitters to taste (optional)
Method
Blend all ingredients together in a high speed blender.
Test the flavour and consistency. Add a little extra sweetener or lime to taste.
If the consistency is too thick, add a little water.
Blend again and serve garnished with fresh strawberries and lime.
Makes 2.
✨ Tips ✨
Not a sweet tooth? Leave the sweetener out. If you like it sweet, try maple syrup, honey, monk fruit sweetener, Stevia or whatever your go to sweetener is.
The non alcoholic rum or bitters will add that bit of zing that is often missing in alcohol free drinks. The lime does a great job here, but if you want a little something extra, try the rum or bitters.
Cheers and enjoy!

A few weeks ago I put a poll up on my stories aski

A few weeks ago I put a poll up on my stories asking what topics you would like covered when it comes to sobriety.
A HUGE number of you wanted to know about the neuroscience behind one more drink, or more specifically - why do some of us seem to get addicted to 'things' more easily than others?
The below information comes from Jen Clements, Co-Founder of @thrivalistsobriety.
There are many factors that serve to either predispose us to, or protect us, from addiction.
I know that the word 'addiction' tends to conjure up images of hardcore junkies, but the reality is that addiction is any behaviour (substance-related or not) in which one feels compelled to persist despite the negative consequences.
Many things can be addictive: alcohol, other drugs, social media, food, work, sex, exercise, toxic relationships, and more. So it's not so much about the substance or thing itself as it is about our relationship to that thing and why we are doing it. Are we seeking pleasure in it and struggling to stop ourselves from doing it despite it causing us negative consequences?
In this post we're sharing some of the factors that make us vulnerable to addiction. If some (or all) of these factors apply to you, it doesn't mean you're destined to become an addict or that if you are struggling with problematic use or behaviours, you're destined to always struggle.
There are lots of protective factors you can implement in your life like learning healthier coping mechanisms, having interests and hobbies that don't involve the problematic substance or behaviour, getting help through counselling, therapy or a supportive online community like @thrivalistsobriety
If you're struggling with your drinking, please reach out to us.

If you’re looking for a low carb, decadent mockt

If you’re looking for a low carb, decadent mocktail recipe, you’ve found it! (Ad) 🍸
Low Carb Salted Caramel Martini
This alcohol free cocktail is keto and vegan friendly, and so simple to make!
I've had a lot of requests for low sugar, keto and vegan recipes, and @lakantoaustralia have created this incredible caramel flavoured
topping that ticks both boxes and works perfectly for non alcoholic
cocktails!
The caramel topping is vegan, keto friendly, gluten free, contain no artificial sweeteners and has ZERO net carbs 😮
Lakanto is available in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA and many more countries.
The team at Lakanto have also been kind enough to offer a 20% discount off your first purchase on their website, using the code MINDFUL (note this is applicable to Australian residents only). I have put a link to purchase in my bio.
Ingredients
🔸 2 tablespoons Lakanto caramel flavoured topping
🔸 1 shot espresso cooled
🔸1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
🔸 Tiny pinch of salt
🔸1-2 drops vanilla essence
🔸 Additional caramel topping and kosher salt/sea salt for rim
Method
1. To make the salted caramel rim, pour 1 tablespoon of Lakanto caramel flavoured topping onto a shallow plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the topping and work your way around until the whole rim is covered. Place a small amount of kosher salt on a shallow plate and dip the caramel covered rim into the salt. Don't use too much - you only need a little! Place the glass into the freezer until you're ready to serve.
2. Place remaining topping, espresso, milk and vanilla essence into a blender and blend well.
3. Pour into your martini glass and serve.
Cheers to your health!

This week I bring you a classic mocktail recipe -

This week I bring you a classic mocktail recipe - the Shirley Temple 💛
The cute story behind the drink goes like this: one night when out for dinner with her parents, Shirley Temple was frustrated she couldn’t have one of the fancy cocktails her parents were drinking. The bartender, not wanting to upset the star, whipped up this pretty, non-alcoholic drink, garnished it with a cherry and called it the Shirley Temple.
Researching this story made me go down a Shirley Temple rabbit hole online - if you haven’t read about her amazing life, I encourage you to do so!
Typically served in a Collins glass, the Shirley Temple is traditionally made using just ginger ale and a splash of grenadine, then garnished with a maraschino cherry.
There have been plenty of variations over the years, this is how I made mine:
🔸 1 cup ginger ale
🔸 1 teaspoon grenadine
🔸 A squeeze of fresh lime juice
Build over ice, stir, and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
For a healthier option, use diet ginger ale and replace the grenadine with pomegranate juice.
Have you ever tried a Shirley Temple?
Cheers and enjoy! 🥂

🍊Blood Orange Spritzer🍊 I just had to make

🍊Blood Orange Spritzer🍊
I just had to make the most of blood orange season, so I bring you this deliciously easy and refreshing blood orange spritzer!
You can whip this up in less than a minute, so it’s perfect to make for guests and ideal to sip on a sunny afternoon.
💛Don’t forget to save this recipe.💛
If you live somewhere that is lucky enough to have blood oranges in season over Christmas, this alcohol free cocktail would be perfect for the festive season.
Tip: if you don’t, just freeze some blood orange juice in an ice cube tray and leave them in the freezer for Christmas!
Ingredients
🔸 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed blood orange juice
🔸 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
🔸 1 cup alcohol-free Rosé (you could also use a sparkling white wine if you prefer)
🔸 Plenty of ice
Fill a large wine glass with ice and place a fresh blood orange slice inside.
Add blood orange juice, lime juice and Rosè.
Stir gently.
Garnish with anything green. I love using rosemary because it pairs well with blood orange, but you could also use mint!
Cheers and enjoy 🥂
