Native Berry Spritz
While I don’t live an alcohol free life, I am a very intentional drinker – only drinking on occasions where I really want to, instead of a routine yes, and when I do, putting measures in place to ensure I consume in a healthy way.
That said, I am no stranger to comfortably enjoying an event or evening sans alcohol, and my friends don’t ask any questions when I say no.

I’m loving exploring some non alcoholic drinks and I’m excited to see these become more mainstream. This recipe is a beautifully refreshing and nourishing drink to enjoy for any Spring or Summer occasion. You can make them in a cocktail shaker if you’d like, however a simple jar or small bowl does the trick.

For something fun, I’ve added in By Beth Australian collagen, the star that makes this cocktail a beauty spritz, and not to mention is in the most stunning glass jar that looks perfect with your cocktail glassware. If you are feeling like a break from the booze, and want something tasty with a bonus of nutrition, try this recipe.
