The Emerald Ease
The Emerald Ease Mocktail
This is a spa day in a glass. I created The Emerald Ease, an alcohol-free drink, for those days when my RA flares and I just need to feel cool. Cucumber is incredibly hydrating for joint tissue, and fresh basil is a medicinal powerhouse with natural anti-inflammatory effects. It’s crisp, savory, and feels like a complete system reset.
Ingredients
Method
- In a shaker, muddle the cucumber slices, basil leaves, and syrup until the cucumber is smashed and the basil is fragrant.
- Add the lime juice and fill the shaker with ice.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a chilled glass over fresh ice.
- Top with the sparkling water. Stir gently from the bottom.
Notes
When you stir the drink from the bottom, be sure not to over-stir so not to lose the bubbles.
Other Anti-Inflammatory drinks are Mango Medley Delight and Cherry Lavender Drop!
