I’m all in for a cocktail with a healthy twist, which is why I’m obsessing over mocktails. You get all the yummy stuff sans the alcohol. Mocktails [a.k.a. alcohol-free cocktails] are all the rage lately. In case you didn’t know, sobriety is the new wellness trend all the heath gurus are swearing by! Since I’m a holistic nutritionist and health coach, I couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking to rock those health goals, get bikini ready, or you’re simply not too fond of alcohol then this Blueberry Rosemary Mocktail Spritzer recipe is for you!

This yummy and healthy Blueberry-Rosemary Spritz is the perfect companion for a girl’s night, to indulge without a guilty conscience!

I personally feel at my best when I take alcohol out of the equation. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a glass of wine or a good cocktail like any other girl. I just happen to notice that my body feels better and my mind is more focused and alert when alcohol is not in the mix. Plus hey, my pants fit better too. It’s all about balance, right?

This yummy and healthy Blueberry-Rosemary Spritz is the perfect companion for a girl’s night, to indulge without a guilty conscience!

BLUEBERRY ROSEMARY MOCKTAIL SPRITZER RECIPE

I wanted to be sure to make this Blueberry Rosemary Mocktail Spritzer super low calorie. The splash of lime gives this drink the perfect tangy kick it needs to feel very cocktail-ish without really being one. I used maple syrup to sweeten it instead of sugar or agave, because again, who wants unwanted, empty calories? Not me! Five minutes is all you need to make this healthy mocktail recipe and I can guarantee it will be a hit at your next party or get together. The sparkling water is just perfect to finish the yummy concoction.
