I am a big fan of a good ol’ mocktail.
It you haven’t heard of the word mocktail before, allow me to explain. Mocktails hold all the deliciousness of cocktails without the alcohol. Most of the time half the fun of drinking the cocktail is because it’s fancy + fun, right? Enter: mocktails! Delicious, nutritious (at least the one’s I sip) and won’t leave you feeling like c-r-a-p the next morning.
I made this Ginger Blueberry Mocktail while at a friends cabin this weekend. It was dreamy; soaking up the sun, the smell of the grill and sitting by the water sippin’ this little number.
Does anyone else daydream about food and drinks like me?
Stepping into the kitchen is when my creativity comes out. I love trying new recipes, chopping veggies on the cutting board, traveling via the food on my plate. These are the things that make my heart skip a beat.
During this crazy time of the Covid Pandemic, I think we could all use a little stress relief. Being stuck in our homes and often times stuck in our head, a little kitchen therapy would do the heart good.
