Red wine might be an antioxidant powerhouse, but I love a good cocktail. With more studies coming out that tout the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption (it helps with memory, weight maintenance, and may even lower the risk of breast cancer), happy hour takes on a whole new meaning.
Take cocktail hour to the next healthy level by choosing an alcohol brand that has added health benefits. Looking for a spirit that's low in calories or brimming with superfoods? Keep reading!
Earlier this week I was invited to attend a very special alcohol launch for Fair Spirits. Fair is the first line of premium spirits to be produced with fair-trade-certified ingredients. It consists of three spirits: a vodka and two flavored liqueurs, goji berry and coffee. The smooth, easy-to-drink vodka is made from quinoa farmed in the mountains of Bolivia; the gojis for the sweet and versatile goji berry liqueur are grown by Tibetan monks; and the coffee beans used to make the fragrant coffee liqueur are harvested in Mexico. Each of these communities is positively benefiting from the production of these spirits. Cool, right?
