Ingredients:
1 cup fresh cranberries (great for urinary tract health)
1/2 cucumber, sliced (hydrating and soothing)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (for a touch of zest and vitamin C)
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (natural sweetener)
Sparkling water to top up
Fresh mint leaves (for a refreshing kick)
Ice cubes
Optional: Add a splash of vodka for an adult twist!
Instructions:
In a blender, combine cranberries, cucumber, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until smooth.
Strain the mixture to remove solids, pouring the liquid into a pitcher.
Add ice cubes to glasses, pour the strained mixture over, and top up with sparkling water.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of cucumber or lemon for that extra special touch.
Why This Mocktail?
Cranberries are not just for Thanksgiving! They’re a powerhouse for urinary tract health. Cranberries can help prevent infections that can irritate the vulva. Cucumber adds a hydrating element, ensuring that your skin and body stay moisturized, which is key in keeping irritation at bay. Lemon not only gives you a boost of vitamin C but also aids in detoxifying your system, all of which contribute to better overall health and wellness.
Stay Cool and Healthy
This mocktail is not only a perfect companion for your summer relaxation but also a smart choice for maintaining optimal vulva health. Enjoy it poolside, at your next summer gathering, or during a quiet evening at home.
