A 3-Ingredient Citrus & Green Juice Cocktail Recipe

Many at-home cocktail recipes are complicated—especially when they call for multiple liqueurs, simple syrups, and fancy garnishes. Resorting to a premade, sugar-filled concoction may seem easier in the moment but could lead to an upset stomach the next day. To avoid both scenarios, mbg created a simple three-ingredient cocktail, which may actually support digestive health.

This light and citrus-forward cocktail is like a grown-up lemonade—perfect for summertime happy hours. The greens powder contains an earthy organic blend of ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon, to balance the tart and acidic lemon, making for a palatable flavor profile.

Along with its flavor-enhancing abilities, ginger1 and turmeric2 have been shown to enhance digestion.* This can be helpful since alcohol can trigger digestive discomfort in some individuals, registered dietitian Jess Cording, M.S., R.D., CND, says, especially when they consume too much of it. We, of course, are recommending moderate consumption here.

"Because the organic veggies+ contains digestive enzymes, probiotics, and a good source of prebiotic fiber, it can be a way to incorporate some gut-healthy elements into your day,"* Cording says. "Just note, that doesn't automatically mean your cocktail becomes healthy. A cocktail is still a cocktail."
