Hi, I'm Jessica Cording. I'm
2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:06,300
a registered dietitian health coach and author and today
3
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,500
I wanted to talk about how to make non-alcoholic beverages
4
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:10,200
enjoyable.
5
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:13,500
If you're new to reducing your
6
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,900
alcohol intake or cutting out alcohol completely it can
7
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:20,000
be really daunting to adjust to it first. So yes,
8
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:22,300
reminding yourself of all of the health benefits
9
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:25,500
of not drinking alcohol or drinking less alcohol
10
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,500
that can help but it's
11
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:31,400
also important to make sure that what else you're drinking
12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,600
is really enjoyable because that's a really important piece
13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,800
of making this sustainable.
14
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:39,500
So a mocktail is essentially just
15
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:43,300
a non-alcoholic beverage, you know, sometimes you
16
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:46,200
know, you'll see water as
17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,900
the primary, you know alternative but
18
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:51,400
beyond water which yes, it's our best way
19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,500
to stay hydrated but for incorporating some
20
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,200
pleasure some flavor when it comes to drinking non-alcoholic beverages.
21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
There's a wide world to explore
22
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:03,300
So I really encourage playing around with different
23
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:06,600
flavors different different seasonings.
24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,400
And there's a few things to keep in mind though because just because something is
25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,300
not alcoholic doesn't automatically mean
26
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,300
that it's healthy right because sodas, you know, those are
27
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,200
not alcoholic so I wouldn't encourage just experimenting, you
28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,500
know, play around with different. So yes, so
29
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:26,400
juices things like kombucha teas shrubs.
30
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:32,200
A different at this even a whole world of non-alcoholic wines
31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,200
beers and spirits and
32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,100
I'll be real I've tried a lot of them many of
33
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,300
them are terrible, but there are some that are actually good. So I
34
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:40,600
do encourage exploring.
35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,000
Better yet, make your own.
36
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:46,200
So well, so when
37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,700
I say make your own I mean, you know, and I've encourage experimenting with
38
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:52,400
making your own non-alcoholic beverages. So we're
39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,600
gonna do a mocktail recipe today that encompasses several
40
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,600
different just really beautiful flavors because that's
41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,600
really important. You know, it's not so you have your
42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Your beverage but you wanted to have you know, maybe some notes
43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,400
of citrus or other fruit that you enjoy some herbs
44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,800
spices adding little
45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,300
carbonation can sometimes add a little something to it?
46
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:17,800
So I just heard playing around so today's recipe
47
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,600
is super simple, but it is so refreshing that
48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,200
it's you know, it's something that you could join any
49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,700
time making a lemon ginger mocktail. So this
50
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:29,300
lemon and ginger are two of my very favorite
51
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:32,300
flavors to use together. They just play so nicely you
52
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:35,500
have that really that heat from the ginger and
53
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:38,600
with that that right lemon flavor. It's
54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,700
just so delicious. We're gonna need a little bit of Honey totally
55
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:42,100
optional.
56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,300
But that's just gonna add a note of sweetness to add some flavor
57
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,200
contrast and then top it all off with some sparkling water.
58
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,900
So let's get started.
59
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:53,200
So first up, I have a cocktail shaker just for a
60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,100
little little something extra first have a bunch of ice in here.
61
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:00,500
So I'm gonna add about a quarter cup of
62
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,600
ginger juice. You can add a little bit more. You know,
63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,100
we're gonna make enough for about two servings here. So this is
64
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:07,500
a little bit more than a quarter cup.
65
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,400
But if you don't have ginger juice, you know what you can make it
66
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,700
you can buy it, but you could also use ginger kombucha
67
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:17,400
here. So if if that were the case
68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,100
just be you know, this would be better than done in a class that you're
69
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:23,200
not shaking it because the pump kombucha carbonation can be a
70
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,200
little a little much shaken up. But anyhow, we're gonna start
71
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,500
with our ginger juice and add that to the Shaker or to your
72
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:31,300
tall glass if you're using kombucha.
73
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:35,200
And then the juice of like one to two
74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,400
lemons, I have a little extra lemon juice as you can see here typically for
75
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,200
one serving about two tablespoons is good. This is a little
76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,600
more closer to a quarter cup.
77
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:46,200
You can do more you can do less. I have a sour tooth.
78
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:51,200
All right, and then about a teaspoon of
79
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,400
honey Max, you know, I think that with the sweetness
80
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000
this is one of the biggest mocktail mistakes I see is that
81
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:01,000
people go really heavy on The Suite and really miss
82
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:03,100
out on some of the other flavors. So we're just
83
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:06,200
using a little bit of honey here again to add some contrast.
84
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:07,900
funny story
85
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,100
a long time ago like in an
86
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,300
alternate universe. I got my bartending license. I probably haven't used
87
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:17,300
it in about almost like 15 years at the time of recording
88
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,600
this video. But so a part
89
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200
of me my shaking skills are not what they used to be but
90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,100
we're just gonna shake up the shake up the
91
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:29,300
drink. So we've got our lemon juice our ginger juice and
92
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,000
our honey with some ice. They're just gonna give that a good shape.
93
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:38,300
All right.
94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,400
And if you don't have a Shaker, you can definitely use a strainer or some
95
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:48,700
other.
96
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:50,800
method that works for you
97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,300
But I'm taking advantage here.
98
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:02,900
We're just gonna float some sparkling water on top, so.
99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,400
See if I can do this without making a mess.
100
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,100
That's some lemon wedges or some lemon slices rather.
101
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,200
That on top of the glass the trick to
102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,500
make in these work is you cut your round slice of lemon and cut a
103
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:26,300
little little strip in in there. So it'll attach
104
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:27,400
the side of the glass easily.
105
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,300
So I'm just according dietitian health coach and author.
106
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:33,900
I'm so happy. You could join me for today's recipe demo.
