What is a Mocktail?
For the uninitiated, a mocktail is a sophisticated, non-alcoholic mixed drink. It offers all the complexity and flair of a traditional cocktail without the alcohol, making it perfect for designated drivers, those avoiding alcohol, or anyone seeking a refreshing and health-boosting beverage.
The Star of the Show: “The Power of Seven Green” Juice
The foundation of this drink is a robust, all-organic green juice containing:
-
Kale
-
Spinach
-
Green Apple
-
Celery
-
Cucumber
-
Lemon Juice
-
Ginger Powder
This juice provides a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making this drink a true nutrient powerhouse.
The Secret Ingredient: Essential Oils
What truly elevates this mocktail/cocktail is the addition of Dr. Hermann’s essential oils. The careful infusion of Lavender, Ginger, and Citrus Oil Mix adds a potent layer of aroma and flavor that simple syrups or extracts can’t match, along with the therapeutic benefits of the oils.
How to Make The Luscious Green
Ingredients:
-
1 shot glass of “The Power of Seven Green” juice
-
½ shot glass of simple sugar syrup
-
1 shot glass of vanilla water (for mocktail) OR 1 shot glass of rum (for cocktail)

1-3 sprays each of Dr. Hermann’s Citrus Oil Mix, Lavender Oil, and Ginger Oil
-
½ shot glass of heavy cream

Ice cubes

Lemon wheel or lavender blossoms for garnish
Instructions:
