Gut-Healthy Cocktails
At The Edge, we love trying new things, including healthy alternatives to our favorite soda drinks such as Poppi and Olipop! Both soda brands are “healthy” because of the probiotics they are made of, which essentially means they support your digestive system, helping with bloating and overall energy throughout the day. We thought with summer coming up, we should share some of our favorite cocktails using the Poppi and Olipop drinks!
Raspberry Vodka Lemonade
You’re going to need the raspberry and rose-flavored Poppi drink, any kind of raspberry vodka and we recommend Mike's Hard Lemonade (however any spiked or regular lemonade of your choice is fine).
In your glass of choice, measure out half a cup of Poppi raspberry rose drink
Two shots of your raspberry vodka
Lastly, finish off with either your spiked or regular lemonade, and enjoy!
Orange Creamsicle
If you loved orange creamsicles when you were younger, then you’re going to love this drink!
Grab your favorite whipped vanilla vodka
An ounce of half and half
A ½ cup of the orange-flavored Poppi drink
½ an ounce of triple sec
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the vodka, triple sec, half-and-half and orange Poppi, and shake well. Fill it up in your glass of choice and, if you’re feeling fancy, you can even garnish with an orange slice!
Dirtier Shirley
This one is for everyone who is still a kid at heart! Grab some grenadine, the cherry limeade Poppi drink and some cherry-flavored vodka.
In a shaker, you can use a stirrer, mix up half a cup of your cherry limeade and two shots of your cherry flavored vodka and give everything a good stir!
Then, add a splash of grenadine and enjoy your dirtier Shirley temple cocktail!
Lemon Moscow Mule
Personally, we’re not the biggest fan of Moscow mules, however we think our readers should definitely give this a try! This is a twist on the classic Moscow mule, just without the overpowering ginger flavor.
Take a lemon ginger Olipop, some regular vodka or lemon flavored vodka and some lime juice!
Again, use half of the lemon ginger Olipop and a couple shots of vodka, mix everything up and top it off with some lime juice!
Cherry Vanilla & Jack
A year ago, this drink personally changed our life — a cherry coke and Jack. Now we cannot wait to try Olipop’s cherry vanilla health soda with this combo! If a Jack & Coke is your go-to, this might have to be your new pregame mixy!
Measure a half cup of Olipop cherry vanilla soda
Two (or three) shots of Jack Daniel’s
Mix it until your heart is happy!
Sex on the Beach
Last, but certainly not least, a classic favorite. Here’s how you can turn the classic Sex on the Beach cocktail gut healthy and leave you feeling energized and refreshed for those upcoming beach days!
Take Olipop’s tropical punch soda
An ounce of vodka
And ⅔ ounce of peach Schnapps
You can use a mixer or stirre and combine Olipop tropical punch, your choice of vodka and the peach Schnapps!
If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with maraschino cherries and an orange slice!
We hope these cocktail recipes get you excited about summer approaching! Always remember to drink responsibly, but let us know if you like them @theedgemag!
