Vitamin-Boosting Summer Cocktails You’ll Actually Want to Serve
The summer heat springs forth all kinds of cravings — especially for delicious cocktails. It’s important to stay refreshed, and my favorite way to do so is with from fresh fruits and vegetables. I don’t need fake sugars or preservatives, and I wouldn’t want to serve them to my guests, either. Instead, I prefer to create my cocktails with fresh cold-pressed juice.
When I don’t have the time to freshly squeeze produce myself, I turn to cold-pressed juices from my favorite, Pure Green, the most convenient farm-to-table and preservative-free option. You can find most of these juices in the cold-pressed aisle:
Bailey’s — blend the Bailey’s with ice and cashew milk , turn it into a smoothie! Make it a dessert by adding a couple scoops of ice cream or frozen yogurt into the blender. Look for your cashew milk at the Pure Green!
Rum — refresh your taste and the heat by mixing Rum with Soul Kick from the Pure Green — a combination of apples, pineapple, lemon, and that healthy kick of ginger. Garnish with jalapeño slices if you dare.
Tequila — start the party serving tequila with raw coconut water, lemon and pineapple juice, then add chia seeds for that extra energy. Or buy your cold press ready made at the Pure Green — Coconut Hydrate — and add it to the Tequila!
Vodka — this needs Pure Watermelon Juice with a mini-umbrella garnish.
Whiskey — muddle rosemary and peach, add lemon juice, and a dash of maple simple syrup. You can find some lovely fresh lemon juice shots at the Pure Green.

These combinations are more than just tasty — they’re great vitamin boosters. You’ll feel better as you sip, and you’ll wake up without a hangover. They’re a great way to get your daily dosage of vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Besides eating them, the cold-press option is the closest thing you’re going to get to raw, pure vegetables and fruits.
