Thirsty Thursday: Refreshing Mocktails
The first thing I did this morning upon waking was look at my Weather Channel app and guess what it told me? That it is -18°F and it feels like -39°F with the windchill.
Schools are closed but work is still open. The cold weather does make us tougher though I do have to admit. That is me trying to stay positive right there. When the above zero days shine their faces on us, it feels like a heat wave. Bring on the heat wave tomorrow!
Speaking of heat wave, let’s use our imaginations today. Imagine you are on a soft sandy beach in the Caribbean. You have a lounge chair set up on the beach so that the ocean hits at your feet just enough to cool off from the sizzling sun. In your right hand is your favorite book, and in your left hand is a refreshing cocktail or mocktail. 🙂
You lay there all day because you have nothing else to do (don’t forget the sunscreen!), just sipping away at your mojito and gazing out at the blue waters.
Are you there? Let that thought get you through your day. Dream a little dream!
Need some mocktail ideas? I have got you covered. I’m currently not drinking alcohol because it tends to wreak havoc on my digestive system, so I compiled a handful of non-alcoholic beverages that are refreshing and will help you to live in your imaginary moment whenever you want.
Crank up the heat and whip up one of these beverages! It’s what I plan to do this weekend!

Who says you can’t have a taste of the tropics in your very own home? You can do whatever you want.
I’ll be here today…
In my mind.
Happy Thursday!
If you could travel ANYWHERE today, where would you travel?
Any good mocktail recipes?
