3 Healthy and Simple Summer Cocktail Recipes

With summer in full swing and July 4th next week...

I wanted to share with you my three go to summer cocktails!

Refreshing, light and perfect for an afternoon or evening of relaxation!

The key to a healthy cocktail?

NO SUGAR.

And if you must have the sweetness of sugar....

Try monkfruit or stevia instead!  I wrote a blog post on the benefits of monkfruit. Check it out here! (Note: not all alternative sweeteners are good for you)

Kick back, relax and enjoy! 

Tequila + Muddled Strawberries

  • 1.5 oz of tequila (my favorite is Altos!)
  • 4 oz of key lime la croix
  • 3-4 strawberries muddled with the tequila
  • Garnish with lime and strawberry slice
  • You can also do this with blueberries, oranges, really any fruit!

If you make one of these, tag me on instagram! I would LOVE to see it!

Also pro tip- I order these at restaurants too. Even if they are not on the menu. Typically restaurant drinks are super sugary.

Stay happy and healthy friends!

Happy July 4th :)
