Detox Cocktails

While some choose to embark on dry January, others may simply seek healthier options this month. We’d like to suggest a selection of (dare we say) health-conscious cocktails packed with restorative, antioxidant-rich and detoxifying ingredients such as turmeric, mugwort, matcha and carrots.

Cocktail enthusiasts eschewing a monthlong commitment to self-inflicted prohibition may enjoy a slew of these guilt-reduced concoctions.

Here are number of expertly crafted libations from our friends at Slowly Shirley, Dante and Oiji; made using an array of health-infused herbs, spices and produce including: anti-inflammatory turmeric, energy boosting mugwort, strong antioxidant matcha and fibre rich carrots.
