Because sometimes you just need a drink that makes you feel GOOD.

This is another in a series of posts I’ve done in partnership with Sonoma Syrup Co. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for continuing to support the brands that make CaliGirl Cooking possible!

I’m mixing things up today by bringing you what I believe turned out to be a phenomenal “mocktail.” This Honey Citrus Detox Elixir will leave you feeling healthy, refreshed and energized for whatever your day has in store for you.  It’s good for both your body and your tastebuds, and I promise you won’t even notice that there’s no alcohol involved.

What IS involved is Sonoma Syrup Co.’s Organic Apple Cider Infused Drinking Vinegar, which I have fallen deeply in love with ever since I started my partnership with them almost a year ago. Funny story about said apple cider vinegar: when I first got my hands on a bottle, I got so excited by seeing the words “with Lemon and Vanilla” in small print on the label that I quickly took a big glug to taste. Mmmmm…not the smartest move. It tasted like a darn good version of apple cider vinegar, but it was still vinegar and my face proceeded to screw up into a tight pucker.

BUT, the next morning, I added it to my usual lemon water concoction (let me know if you’re interested in seeing the recipe!) and O.M.G. Amaze-balls. Seriously, when combined with everything else and warmed up a little bit, it actually made my morning libation pleasing to sip on rather than chugging it all down as quickly as possible.

So, when Sonoma Syrup Co. approached me about making a drink using their Organic Apple Cider Infused Drinking Vinegar, I jumped at the chance. I was so excited to try out some other flavor combinations to showcase the uniqueness of this product, and this Honey Citrus Detox Elixir is the ultra-tasty, body cleansing result.

To give you a quick overview, apple cider vinegar has been on the up-and-up in the health and wellness scenes for the last couple of years, and for good reason. It promotes healthy cholesterol, can aid in weight loss and improves nutrient absorption, among other things. Experts in the health community recommend anywhere from one teaspoon to one tablespoon per day (best if mixed with water or other liquids,) so mix up a Honey Citrus Detox Elixir and you’ll have all of the recommended ACV (along with a healthy dose of Vitamin C from the oranges and lemon) that you need in a day.

I used all-natural products for this elixir, no artificial or processed ingredients whatsoever. We’re talking fresh squeezed OJ and lemon juice (many thanks to our landlords who decided to plant a plethora of citrus trees on our property a couple of years ago,) local honey for some sweetness, and turmeric and cinnamon to add even more anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting benefits.

I don’t know about you, but I think I may be turning to a Honey Citrus Detox Elixir as my drink of choice a bit more often for the foreseeable future. You know I’m all about that balance after all, and when there’s a non-alcoholic option that’s THIS good, you’ll hardly even miss the buzz, and won’t even have to worry about a hangover tomorrow morning!
