St. Patrick’s Day Spritz

@soberishmom

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! Not only one of the most beautiful mocktail recipes I’ve made, but also SO delicious! I will be drinking this one all spring… minus the shamrock ☘️ garnish, because that was NOT easy 😂. This would be tasty with or without nonalcoholic tequila if you don’t have any on hand. Sort of an in between recipe for a cucumber margarita or cucumber cooler, I couldn’t decide what to call it. DM me if you’d like a recommendation on my favorite nonalcoholic tequila! Recipe: • 1 oz cucumber juice (if you don’t have a juicer muddle a few slices in shaker before adding other ingredients but know the color won’t be as green) • 1 oz lime juice • 1 oz nonalcoholic tequila (optional) • .5 oz agave • 2-3 oz like soda (plain or cucumber would be great too) Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ 🥒 #mocktailrecipe

Hydrating Coconut-Lime Cooler

@onthemocks
