Aloe Spritz (NA)

Description

Super refreshing with a light sweetness!

A mocktail is a nonalcoholic beverage designed to mimic the flavor and presentation of a traditional cocktail — minus the alcohol. These drinks often combine fruit or vegetable juices, herbs, sparkling water and flavored syrups to create refreshing and complex profiles. Mocktails allow people to enjoy the social and sensory experience of a cocktail while avoiding alcohol-related health risks.

Ingredients

1 cup aloe juice (with pulp, if desired, for texture)
¼ cup simple syrup
¼ cup lime juice
1 cup nonalcoholic dry bubbly wine or sparkling white grape juice
Cucumber ribbons or slices to garnish

Directions

Add aloe juice, simple syrup and lime juice into a shaker with ice. Shake for 30 seconds.
Strain and pour into a glass (ice recommended but not necessary).
Top off with your choice of sparkling beverage, such as sparkling grape juice.

Alcohol provides calories but no essential nutritional value — no vitamins, minerals or other nutrients the body needs to function. As research evolves, recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans increasingly emphasize limiting alcohol intake due to its links to chronic health conditions, including certain cancers, liver disease and cardiovascular issues. In fact, the risks associated with alcohol use are now considered to outweigh any potential benefits.
