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 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 - 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 🥂

If you're looking for a simple, fresh, 4 ingredien

If you're looking for a simple, fresh, 4 ingredient mocktail, you've found it! (Ad) 💛
I was lucky enough to be sent a bottle of this beautiful Fluère Botanical Blend from @fluere_drinks and it is simply divine! With a combination of coriander seed, lime peel, lavender and juniper, this non-alcoholic spirit is fresh and zesty with a touch of floral.
The team have a collection of incredible non-alcoholic cocktail recipes on their website, and I decided to make the Basil Smash.
Side note: I have also tried the Fluère Raspberry blend and it is just perfect with tonic water and a slice of cucumber.
Basil Smash
Ingredients
🔹 50 ml Fluère Original
🔹 25 ml fresh lemon juice
🔹 15 ml sugar syrup
🔹 A bunch of fresh basil
Method
Muddle fresh basil with the fresh lemon juice in a shaker.
Add the simple syrup and shake. Double strain into a tumbler.
Add FLUÈRE to your tumbler and fill it with ice. Stir briefly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and edible flowers.
Cheers and enjoy!
You can buy Fluère from @sansdrinksau in Australia, or via Amazon in the States and UK. 💛

A few months back on my stories, I asked you what

A few months back on my stories, I asked you what kind of mocktail recipes you’d like to see.
An overwhelming number of you said low sugar, low carb and keto recipes - which is not always an easy thing to do when it comes to non-alcoholic cocktails!
I set out to find the best way to create these recipes and that’s when I found @lakantoaustralia . I am so pleased to say we have teamed up to bring you some delicious drinks! I explained a little more about why I chose Lakanto in my stories yesterday, so head there if you’d like more detail. Lakanto products are available in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA and many more countries.
(Ad) 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.
Our first recipe is a Keto Blueberry Burst using the Lakanto Maple Syrup. And guess what? By using Lakantos Maple Syrup instead of regular maple syrup, you save yourself drinking 12g of added sugar! 
Ingredients
15 blueberries
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
10 mint leaves
1 tbsp Lakanto Maple Syrup
200-250mls soda water or kombucha
Method
Place blueberries, lime juice and maple syrup into a cocktail shaker or mason jar and muddle until the juice is released from the blueberries.
Clap the mint together in your hands until the scent is released, then add to the mixture. Press the mint gently with the muddler a few times.
Strain into an ice filled glass and top with soda water or your favourite kombucha.
Adjust sweetness by adding some extra maple syrup if desired.
Garnish and serve.
Notes: if you prefer, you can complete the first 2 steps in your serving glass and omit straining the mixture. The blueberry and mint pieces taste delicious when left in the drink.
I found frozen blueberries worked really well for this recipe, as they tend to be far juicier - just thaw them first.
Cheers and enjoy!

It’s my birthday today!
This is my attempt at making a mocktail that resembles a cake 🙊😆
Ok so it didn’t work out quite like I imagined but at least it tastes great!
To make it, I filled my glass with crushed ice, added 1/3 cup butterfly pea tea and a tablespoon of lemon juice, then topped up with sparkling rose water. Simple yet delicious!
You can add edible flowers (or in my case, a fake flower because thats all I had!) and some mint leaves to garnish.
Cheers! 💜
