We don’t do a lot of juice in my house.

 

It’s filled with sugar (usually even more ADDED sugar, bc America 🤦🏼‍♀️) , zero fiber, and minimal nutritional benefit. IF I give juice to the kids, I water it down.

But this Ginger Echinacea Lemonade from @traderjoes has been a huge favorite for me. It’s 100% juice, and definitely high in sugar, but damn it tastes SO GOOD. It’s very ginger heavy which can be a polarizing flavor but it’s  one I personally love!

The thing is, ginger and echinacea are both power hitters in the natural healing world, making this “juice” loaded with health benefits.

It’s safe to say this lemonade ain’t just juice.

Plus, it mixes REALLY well with vodka OR tequila

So that’s it, there’s  your recipe  I’m a little behind on the quarantine cocktail trend but seriously, this one is the one!  I’m not a good cook but I was a bartender for years so you can take my word for it. Add some blueberries as a little superfood garnish and BAM—healthy-ish cocktail 🤣

Let me know if you try it and tell me what you think!
