Hey Loves!
Happy Thursday!! This week I wanted to bring forth a Cocktail recipe. I think this drink is equally great with or without the tequila. I loved this drink when I was in Mexico. It traditionally is made with Grapefruit juice, Limes and Tequila. It is delicious. I wanted to add ginger juice to my version and I topped it with La Croix Sparkling Water. You will only need a few ingredients for this Refreshing Mocktail. Grapefruit, Lime, Ginger Juice, La Croix and Coconut Sugar.
Health Benefits of Lime
Lime are known for the Sour, bright green and lovely aroma. Limes are nutrient packed and have tons of health benefits. They are high in Vitamin C which aid in boosting your immunity and improving the appearance of your skin. Limes also contain iron, calcium, potassium, and vitamin B6. Limes are high in Ascorbic Acid, flavonoids, and quercetin. These compounds act as antioxidants in the body. I love adding lime to water to help aid in digestion. The citric acid found in lime juice helps boost a person’s metabolism, helping them burn calories. Limes are a great additional to so many recipes because of the taste and colour. They are a staple in so many cultures.
