Festive Mocktails That Are Good for Your Gut
/
There are so many delicious alternatives to alcohol around now, that having a ‘dry’ Christmas or being the designated driver, is actually quite appealing… and when the cocktail is even good for you, it’s a win win!
On our November retreat (you can check out the gorgeous Clayhill where we spent the weekend here), we served up an alcohol-free alternative to gin and tonic before dinner on Saturday evening. We mixed Cedar’s Pink Rose Distilled Non-alcoholic Spirit with Willy’s Pink Grapefruit ACV (apple cider vinegar) Water. Add lots of ice, thyme or rosemary, fresh fruit and edible flowers for a festive garnish!
This drink is so refreshing and looks really lovely, so you don’t feel left out if you’re passing on the fizz! Plus, Willy’s ACV is good for you, for a number of reasons.
Willy’s ACV Water contains live Apple Cider Vinegar which contains the Mother. The Mother looks like strands in the vinegar and is a natural part of the fermentation process and is full of gut-friendly probiotics (beneficial bacteria) which support overall wellbeing. For example, the Mother has been proven to:
Support the immune system
Improve digestion
Aid weight loss
Improve hair, skin and nail health
Lower blood sugar
All of which are very welcome at this time of year!
And if a G&T isn’t your tipple of choice, check out this recipe for alcohol free mulled ‘wine’ from Willy’s, which is great for kids too!
