3 Health-Forward Mocktails We’re Loving
Summer’s slowing down, but the fun beverages don’t have to. These alcohol-free sips are refreshing enough for the late August heat and grounding enough to carry you into fall. Bonus: they’re packed with functional benefits.
Whether you’re winding down after class, hosting a Detroit Lions pre-season hang, or simply swapping your nightly glass of wine for something lighter, these mocktails give you the ritual without the drag. No dehydration, no sugar crash—just feel-good ingredients in a glass.
1. Pomegranate + Ginger Fizz
Rich in antioxidants, pomegranate supports heart health and adds a fall-forward depth to your drink. Combine with fresh ginger and sparkling water for a mocktail that’s bold but balanced. A splash of lime keeps it bright. Sip it post-reformer class or serve it up at your next dinner party.
2. Cucumber Mint Adaptogen Cooler
Hydrating, calming, and crisp. Add your favorite adaptogen blend (like ashwagandha or reishi) and top with sliced cucumber and mint over crushed ice. The adaptogens help support stress regulation, while the freshness makes this one a studio-to-lounge staple.
3. Turmeric Citrus Tonic
This one’s for your post-reformer recovery. Mix turmeric, lemon juice, a touch of honey, and a splash of soda water. Anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and seriously delicious. Add a pinch of black pepper to activate the turmeric, and garnish with an orange slice if you’re feeling fancy.
Your next night in just got upgraded. Shake, pour, sip—and feel good doing it.
