2 Tasty Drinks to Brighten Up Your Summer Days

If you ask us, summer days just aren’t the same without an ice cold drink in hand! Whether you’re poolside or kicking back at home, Nature Restore berry superfood powders are a quick and simple way to add bright and fresh fruity flavor to every occasion while receiving vital antioxidants and nutrients that can support immunity, vitality, healthy digestion, and more. Plus, with their vibrant natural pigmentation, these powders make everyday feel like a beach vacation. 

Here are two of our favorite summer sippers to brighten up your daily routine.

1. Strawberry Acai Lemonade

This one’s a favorite of ours! It’s a copycat of the Starbucks Strawberry Acai Lemonade, but made simple with our Acai and Strawberry superfood powders, so you’re still receiving all the benefits of these delicious fruits without any hassle or unnecessary additives! 

Ingredients: 

1/4 cup white grape juice

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup Lemonade

Chopped Strawberries (optional)

1 tsp Nature Restore Acai Powder

1 tsp Nature Restore Organic Strawberry Powder

Ice

Instructions:

1. Sift the strawberry and acai powders into a glass and mix with the white grape juice (should look a little thicker once combined)

2. Fill your serving cup with ice

3. Pour the strawberry acai mixture into the cup over the ice

4. Add your lemonade and optional chopped strawberries and stir to combine.

If you like your lemonades on the sour side, swap the lemonade out for fresh lemon juice. And for that extra smooth finish, shake everything together in a cocktail shaker before serving over ice.

2. Raspberry Tonic

This tonic pairs perfectly with hot summer nights, bringing a sense of decadence that will leave your evening feeling more like a garden party than a casual Sunday night. Made with fresh blackberries and black sugar, it’s low maintenance elegance at its best. Swap the black sugar for turbinado, or skip the booze for a light sipper you can enjoy all day long.

Ingredients: 

2 1/2 ounces gin or vodka

1 large lime

1 teaspoon Nature Restore Organic Raspberry Powder

1 bottle tonic water

For Garnish (optional):

Black sugar

Blackberries 

Mint leaves

large toothpicks

Instructions:

1. Rim the glass with black sugar and fill with ice

2. In a cocktail shaker add in the gin or vodka, juice from ½ a lime and raspberry powder

3. Shake for 30 seconds, then pour over ice and top with tonic water and a blackberry and mint leaf

If you want to take this cocktail to the next level, mix your alcohol of choice with the raspberry powder the night before and muddle a few blackberries into the mixture, then strain before serving.
