GOOD-FOR-YOUR-SKIN SUMMER COCKTAILS

If you’ve read my book (FEED YOUR FACE), you know that I believe in enjoying your food & drink.

Here are my fave skin-friendly Summer cocktails (BTW they’re just as delicious whether virgin or adult 😉):

🌞 4th of July Brunch: Pour BLOODY MARYS. (Better for you than mimosas!)

Tomatoes 🍅 are high in lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against sunburn. To help absorb better,
serve with a healthy fat, like avocado toast 🥑.

TIP: Cool off with POPTAILS: Freeze Bloody Mary Mix overnight and run under hot water to unmold. (alcohol won’t freeze so these have to be virgin 😉).
 
🌞 Barbecue or by the Pool: Serve CUCUMBER 🥒 GINGER-LIME SLUSHIES.

Cucumber hydrates, and ginger is anti-inflammatory. In a blender, add peeled, sliced cucumber, ginger beer (I found a no sugar version), splash of gin, squeeze of fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and plenty of ice. Blend to slushy consistency. Add more lime or simple syrup to taste.

🌞 After Sunset: Make GREEN TEA MOJITOS.

Add a splash of iced green tea to your favorite mojito recipe. Green tea fights DNA damage after sun, and helps balance the sweetness of the drink.

I love trying new cocktails, so please share what you’re drinking this weekend!

Have a safe & Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
