Clean Cocktails: Mercury Retrograde

I thought this drink was perfect for this eerie time of year! It also happens to be a beautifully fun and funky color, that’ll look amazing in a big glass bowl of “witches brew” for your adult Halloween party! More importantly, unlike the astrological event, this drink won’t have you wondering what the hell is going on!

That’s because it’s balanced with detoxifying celery and metal removing cilantro! I know, I thought Beth was crazy too - but you have to watch the video to see my reaction at my first sip! Turns out it’s not nearly as strange as it sounds! Watch the video if for nothing more than a good laugh because Beth and I have a lot of fun in this one - and we want you to as well! Then try your hand at this Clean Cocktail at home - and don’t forget to grab Beth’s book Clean Cocktails to see more!
