Cheers to a Healthier Cocktail!
Here’s to you!
You’re surviving the holidays so far, and 2015 is just around the corner.
Both are perfect reasons to keep on celebrating!
But if you’ve been riding the party train a lot this December, celebrating is not sounding as much fun as it did at the beginning of the month. This lull in the holiday season probably has you noticing that you’re a tad dehydrated and not quite your usual healthy self. Yes? Maybe. Maybe not.
Anyway, it is still party season, but you can still stay festive and notch up the health factor with this great round of healthier cocktails (some that even hydrate as you sip!) we’ve come across.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday season! Cheers!

Just head to your local juice place or any grocery store that sells fresh juices and grab the bottles you need. From there, it’s just a matter of mixing all that juicy goodness with some high quality, clear tequila! Viva the holidays! Get the recipe here.
Trip to Malibu
Trapped under a drift of snow or relatives? Then sip on down to Malibu and escape for a while. This yummy concoction is as simple as it is hydrating – just Malibu rum and coconut/pineapple water. Get the recipe here.

Hot-Blooded
Whiskey and the holidays just go together. This spicy darling brings jalapenos and blood oranges together for one very memorable drink. We really like the spicy factor here.

Make sure to read the commentary on how to select and handle the jalapenos – they can be a little hot-headed. Get the recipe here.
