Slow Aging With Booze
I was reading an article about how some cocktails can actually slow the signs of aging. It’s been well know that small amounts of wine can help prevent heart disease but actual hard liquor cocktails can help you look younger.
Having cocktails and socialization with friends can be a great stress relieve , but did you know that certain alcohol drinks could also unlock the fountain of youth.
Here are some anti-aging cocktails put together by Dietician Julieanna Hever and mixologist Darryl Robinson who have been featured on the popular Dr. Oz show.
These are very quick and easy to put together but also delicious and actually good for you if you can believe it.
1. MEMORY BOOSTING BLOODY MARY
This anti-aging drink combines turmeric with savory tomato juice for a skin-saving twist on a classic cocktail. If you’re a fan of the Bloody Mary, make a few tweaks to the traditional recipe and you can enjoy the delicious flavor of the drink while enjoying the benefits of its ingredients! Tomato juice can help balance the skin’s pH and turmeric is great for brightening skin and is packed with antioxidants!
Ingredients:
1 tbsp kale
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp turmeric
1 1/2 oz vodka
4 oz tomato juice
1 celery stick, for garnish
Directions:
Purée kale, using a blender or food processor, and grate ginger into a bowl.
Combine puréed kale, ginger, ground pepper and turmeric into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Add vodka and tomato juice, and shake. Strain over glass filled with ice, and garnish with celery before serving.
2. BORBANADE BORBATINI
The Borbanade Borbatini might have a funny name, but it’s another tasty cocktail that fights aging! This drink combines delicious lemonade and vodka with Borba’s Clarifying Skin Balance Water for a beautylicious blend of nutrients and problem skin solvers to give you a glowing complexion and a buzz! Make this cocktail the next time you’re having a spa night in!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz. vodka
4 1/2 oz lemonade
.75 oz. BORBA’s Clarifying Skin Balance Water
3. BLACKBERRY AND VODKA LEMONADE
This refreshing anti-aging drink gives the plain old vodka lemonade a nice boost of antioxidants with blackberries! Personally I think blackberries are one of the most underrated berries and wish they’d show up more in drinks! If you #look at the ingredient list, you’ll notice that it calls for 2 ounces of yuzu juice, which is an Asian citrus fruit. If you can’t find it, I highly doubt that excluding it would ruin the #recipe, so no worries!
Ingredients:
2 ounce yuzu juice
1 ounce lime juice
1 ounce lemon juice
1 ounce agave nectar
3 ounce vodka
1 handful of muddled blackberries
Directions:
Mix together and enjoy!
4. HEART SMART COOLER
This is another one of the anti-aging cocktails that is good for your #skin but is also great for your body! This cooler contains yummy berries, mint, basil and green tea for a healthy boost of antioxidants and antibacterial properties! All of these ingredients combined pack a fruity, powerful, skin-saving punch!
Ingredients:
1 tbsp blueberries
1 tbsp blackberries
4-6 leaves mint
2-3 leaves basil
1/2 oz pomegranate juice
1/2 oz green tea
4 oz seltzer water
Basil sprigs, for garnish
Mint sprigs, for garnish
Directions:
In a tall glass, muddle blueberries, blackberries, mint and basil. Add juice and tea and top with seltzer. Garnish with basil and mint sprigs, and serve with a straw.
5. SANGRIA
Did you know that this classic summer beverage is a cocktail that fights aging? Although we’re done with summer, you can take a trip down memory lane and savor warmer days with this fruity drink! The fruits as well as the red wine contain antioxidants and a host of other nutrients that make this cocktail one of the healthiest drinks around!
Ingredients:
1 (750-ml) bottle red wine
1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec or Grand Marnier
1 orange (unpeeled), thinly sliced
1 lime (unpeeled), thinly sliced
1 (8- ounce) can pineapple chunks packed in 100% juice, with juice
2 cups naturally flavored lime or lemon-lime seltzer or club soda
Sliced citrus fruit, for garnish
Directions:
Combine the wine, orange liqueur, orange and lime slices, and the entire can of pineapple, including the juice, in a large pitcher. Stir, and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
To serve, strain out the soaked fruit if desired. Pour the chilled seltzer into the pitcher, and stir to combine with the wine.
