When people learn that I’m a Holistic Nutritionist, oftentimes they assume that I abstain from alcohol. But just because I try to fuel my body with nutrient-dense foods and encourage my clients to do the same, it doesn’t mean that I don’t love a good cocktail from time to time!
This drink is a healthy alternative to a typical cocktail, though it does contain alcohol. I am a big tequila girl, so you know it contains that. I also love a little smoke, which is why the recipe also calls for mezcal (you can skip this part if you’re not a smoke fan). This cocktail also contains inflammation-reducing fennel and is garnished with bee pollen which is loaded with antioxidants. You won’t find any added sugar in this drink because the hint of sweetness comes from stevia. Enjoy!
