Lifestyle & Wellness
With summer approaching, thoughts turn to sunny days outside with a cool, non-alcoholic drink in hand. Alcohol-free cocktails are one of this year’s top wellness trends, so we created two mocktails inspired by favorite Eminence Organic Skin Care ingredients. Made with rhubarb, raspberry, rosehip and lavender, these refreshing drinks will keep you cool—and on trend—all season.
Raspberry, Rhubarb & Rosehip Mocktail
This tasty alcohol-free drink uses the same organic ingredients found in Eminence Organics Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum, Raspberry Pore Refining Masque and Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15.
Ingredients — Syrup
– 2 cups sliced organic rhubarb
– 2 cups organic raspberries
– 1 tbsp dried rosehips
– 3/4 cup organic raw sugar or honey
– 1 cup water
Ingredients — Mocktail
– Rhubarb, Raspberry & Rosehip Syrup
– Sparkling water
– Ice
Step 1: Make the syrup
Combine rhubarb, raspberries, rosehips, sugar (or honey) and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from heat, let cool, strain, and chill the liquid in the fridge.
Step 2: Build the mocktail
Pour 2 tablespoons of syrup into a glass, add ice and sparkling water, then add more syrup to taste.
Fresh Lavender Lemonade
If you prefer lavender, try this Lavender Lemonade—a Koronczay family favorite inspired by ingredients grown at the Eminence Certified Organic Farm.
Ingredients
– 3 drops lavender essential oil
– Juice of 5 lemons (peeled and juiced)
– 12 cups pure spring water
– Raw honey to taste
Steps
Mix everything together and chill. Sweeten with honey to taste.
If you choose an alcoholic cocktail instead, remember alcohol can cause puffy, tired-looking eyes. To help keep your eyes looking fresh, try Eminence Organics’ award-winning Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream.
