Lemon Ginger Switchel

Happy Friday!

We’re in celebration mode (find out why here) and that means it’s Conscious Cocktail time!

Who’s thirsty?

Conscious Cleanse | Lemon Ginger Switchel | www.consciouscleanse.com | #consciouscocktail #8020lifestyle #switchelToday’s recipe was inspired by Jules’ recent discovery of a well-known cocktail called Moscow Mule. Who knew ginger and vodka was a match made in heaven?

After some active investigation, sadly (but not surprisingly), if you read the label of any ginger beer on the market, you’ll find an alarming amount of sugar!

So today we’ve converted a sugar-bomb cocktail into a delicious alternative. And boy oh boy does it ever live up to the original.

Have a great weekend! Enjoy your 80:20.

With lemon ginger kisses,
