Pina Colada: Alcohol-free and 100% delicious

I used to love throwing sweet juicy cocktails down my thristy gullet, but not since I became a living, breathing example of organic rejuvenation. There's no place in the Facelift Diet for skin-shrivelling booze!

But the sexiest thing is, you can make delicious 'mocktails' using yummy facelift foods, not only booze-free but rich in beauty nutrients.

Try my recipe for Pina Colada

 

You need:

1 juicy ripe pineapple (is your pineapple ripe? - video)
2 juicy limes
Coconut water from 1-2 green coconuts of one small carton of coco water

To make:

Top and tail your pineapple and cut off the peel. Cut the pineapple into long wedges and then use a knife to remove the woody core. Add to blender.

Juice the limes andd add the juice to the blender

Pour in the coconut water and blend until it is a creamy, dreamy tropical smooth drink.

Serve with ice and lime wedges for the ulitmate 'me time' beverage

Enjoy!

Pink & Fizzy: sparkling grapefuit drink

Pink Grapefuit-ade

Sometimes only a fizzy tipple will do when a lady is thirsty. This is a variation on lemonade which is not only tartly refreshing but deliciously good for you too.

You need:

Fresh juice of half a pink Grapefruit
Dried dates
Sparkling spring water (chilled)

To make:
Soak a few dates (2-4) overnight in water. ( the soakwater ends up being a sweet sticky syrup that is amazing as a sugar substitute). Squeeze a large juicy pink grapefruit and add the juice to a tall glass, add a teaspoon or 2 of date soak water to eat glass and then top up with chilled sparkling spring water.

For effect add some frozen raspberries as cute ice cubes
