Here is the 1st of many Christmas mocktails - I had a lot of fun creating these!
This Sparkling Virgin Christmas Cosmo has a combination of low sugar cranberry juice (I used @oceansprayanz ), sparkling water, freshly squeezed lime and orange juice - and it tastes divine!
You can find the full recipe via the link in my bio. Don’t forget to save this post for when you need it 💚.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting a series of festive mocktail recipes and Christmas inspired alcohol free drinks and ideas.
I hope you enjoy them!

I heard this expression a few years ago and it rea

I heard this expression a few years ago and it really had an impact on me.
Quite unintentionally, it has become part of my daily decision making process. It now automatically springs to mind when I’m trying to decide if something is a good idea or not.
My ‘future self’ could be me in 30 minutes time, me in 50 years time, or anywhere in between.
If I struggle to wake up early to exercise, I think ‘your future self in 45 minutes will thank you’.
When I was saving to buy a house and trying to decide whether to purchase something frivolous I would think ‘your future self will thank you for saving that $100’.
By running even small decisions through this filter it makes it clear what is good for me and what is not.
I often thought about my future self in the months (years!) leading up to me making the decision to take control of my relationship with alcohol.
What would she look like if I let this cycle continue and gradually get worse as the years went on?
Would she look back and thank me?
The answer was pretty clear.
‘Tomorrow mornings me’ wasn’t going to thank me for drinking that bottle of wine or 2 tonight.
My future self in 10 years time wasn’t going to thank me.
My future self needed me to take control today of something I had known for years was becoming a problem.
I look back now and am so grateful to my ‘February 2020’ self for saying enough is enough and seeking help.
If you’re trying to make a decision about something, maybe stop and ask yourself the question ‘will my future self thank me for this?’

Passionfruit Boost 💛 This drink not only looks

Passionfruit Boost 💛
This drink not only looks amazing, it’s incredibly healthy too, with no added sweeteners.
Passionfruit is a rich source of powerful antioxidants. It’s high in Vitamin A which is essential for healthy skin, vision and your immune system.
They also contain plenty of Vitamin C and are high in fibre, making them little powerhouses of goodness.
Don’t forget to save this recipe 💜
Ingredients
1 passionfruit
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
4 mint leaves
1 cup coconut water (I used @cocoluxelife Coco Luxe Boost which is a citrus coconut water. If you can’t find citrus, normal coconut water is fine.)
Squeeze of lime juice (optional)
Method
Place passionfruit pulp and orange juice in a glass. Press down gently on the mixture with a muddler or spoon, breaking up the passionfruit seeds just a little.
Clap mint leaves together in your hands until scent is released and add to mixture.
Fill glass with ice and top with coconut water.
Stir well and add a squeeze of lime juice.
Garnish with whatever you have on hand. I used mint, edible flowers, lime and orange wheels.
Cheers!

If you’re looking for a delicious alcohol free drink that also contains 1 serve of your daily veggie requirements - you’ve found it!
My take on a traditional Bloody Mary has a beautiful mix of tangy tomato, refreshing lime, savoury Worcestershire and spicy Tabasco.
Tomato juice is packed with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin A, B vitamins, potassium, and magnesium. It’s also loaded with antioxidants.
No video this week but it’s so simple to make, you really don’t need one!
My advice: choose a good quality, preferably organic tomato juice. 1 cup = 1 serve of vegetables.
Don’t forget to save this recipe 💛
Ingredients
1 cup tomato juice
1 tbsp dill pickle juice (you could also use olive brine - trust me, it tastes great!)
2-5 dashes Tabasco depending on how much heat you prefer
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp celery salt (optional but does add a lovely flavour)
Method
Add all ingredients to a glass and stir well. Add lots of ice.
Garnish with a combination of celery, pickles, pickled onions and olives.
I used a mix of salt and celery salt for the rim.
Tip: this tastes great when left to ‘marinate’ for a few hours or even overnight.
You could also multiply the quantities and serve in a jug for guests.
Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love a mocktail that can be both pretty or a perfect drink for Halloween?!

I usually keep my recipes very simple but there are a few extra steps in this one - trust me the end result is worth it!
Ingredients
60ml @lyresspiritco Dry London Spirit
6 dried butterfly pea flowers
30ml/1 ounce lime juice
30ml/1 ounce mint syrup
60ml/2 ounce coconut water
30ml/1 ounce aquafaba (juice from can of chickpeas)
Method
Place Dry London Spirit and butterfly pea flowers in a small jar or bowl and leave to infuse for a couple of hours or overnight.
In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, place infused London Spirit, lime juice, mint syrup (easy sugar-free method below), coconut water, aquafaba and ice.
Shake well.
Strain into glass of your choice.
Garnish and enjoy!
For the mint syrup:
I prefer to use Organic Stevia for my syrups because its sugar free.
Place 1 cup water and 1/4 cup Stevia in a small saucepan on medium heat.
Stir until dissolved.
Add 1 cup mint leaves and bring to a gentle simmer for 1 minute.
Remove from heat, cover and leave for 30 mins.
Strain.
You’ll have enough syrup for a few mocktails!

Excuse the cheesy smile, but I just realised I reached 6 months alcohol free last week and if that doesn’t warrant a cheesy smile…..well…..I don’t know what does!
I started to write a long, wordy caption.
Then I deleted it all.
I’ll just say this - I’m proud of me.
If you’d have told me a year ago I’d choose to stop drinking just as we were heading into a global pandemic I would have said you were crazy.
Has it all been easy? Definitely not.
Has it all been worth it? Absolutely, YES.
12 months....I’m coming for you 💪🏼

Here’s one for the ginger fans!
Not only does ginger taste great, it is loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have powerful benefits for your body and brain.
It’s one of the very few superfoods actually worthy of that term.
Ginger is high in gingerol, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is known to assist with digestion, lower blood sugar, improve heart disease risk factors and reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis.
It also appears to be highly effective against nausea which makes this a perfect pregnancy mocktail.

If you prefer to watch the video, head over to my IGTV section or my stories and you’ll find it there!
Ingredients
1 inch grated ginger
1 inch grated cucumber
Juice of half a lime
6 mint leaves
1 tsp sweetener (optional - I personally don’t use it)
Ginger beer or ginger ale (whichever you prefer) Sparkling water
Method
Muddle ginger, cucumber and lime in a bowl.
Clap mint leaves together in your hands a few times to release scent, add to ginger mixture and give it a gentle press.
Strain mixture into a glass and add ice.
Top with half ginger beer, half sparkling water.
Garnish and serve.
Notes:
Use a little less ginger if you don’t like it as strong.
You can also use all ginger beer/ale or all sparkling water if you only have one or the other. Kombucha tastes great in this too and adds to the health benefits.
Cheers!
