Grapefruit Champagne Cocktail + Next Day Turmeric Detox Tonic

Learning to let go, meditating more and living in the present – those are my resolutions for 2018. That being said, it’s time to think about how to celebrate the year that was. Staying healthy was my resolution for 2017 so the best way to end this year is with a healthy champagne cocktail, while starting the new one fresh with a detoxifying tonic. If you like grapefruit, you will love the idea of making it the star of the longest night and the laziest day.

Pomegranate Grapefruit Champagne Cocktail

This light, tangy cocktail with a lovely color and refreshing flavor is something I would have any time. I combined the mild bitterness of grapefruit with the sweetness of pomegranate seeds, the refreshing taste of ginger and the cooling flavor peppermint. Champagne bubbles turn everything into a New Year extravaganza.

Turmeric Grapefruit Detoxifying Tonic

Starting the new year fresh and aware is the first step for fulfilling your resolutions, and this detoxifying tonic is just what you need. Grapefruit washes out the toxins and acts as a trigger for your body’s natural detox function, while turmeric provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection, helping your liver to function at its best. Ginger soothes your digestive system and set fire to your circulation, helping your cells to get the oxygen they need for starting fresh.
