When I started moving away from sugary drinks, I realized I still wanted something cold, zesty, and fun to sip — especially on hot afternoons. That’s when I created this citrus cooler. It’s made with real fruit, feels instantly refreshing, and takes just a few minutes to throw together. Now it’s my favorite reset drink — simple, clean, and so satisfying. 

Ingredients:

• Juice of ½ orange

• Juice of ½ lemon

• Juice of ½ lime

• ½ tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

• 1 cup cold water or sparkling water

• Ice cubes

• Orange or lemon slices + mint for garnish

Instructions:

1. Juice & mix:
   In a small pitcher or shaker, combine citrus juices and sweetener (if using). Stir to blend.

2. Add water & ice:
   Pour in the cold water or sparkling water. Add ice and stir gently.

3. Garnish & serve:
   Pour into glasses and garnish with citrus slices and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Want it ultra-cold? Freeze the citrus juice in ice cube trays ahead of time and blend for a slushy version.

• This is perfect after a workout, during a backyard lunch, or as a light drink between meals.

• Add a splash of cucumber juice or infused water for spa vibes.
