Finally - a feel good salad that doesn’t skip a beat. It's wildly delicious. This…
Red, White & Berry Vodka Tonic
Such a festive yet refreshing swap for those Fourth of July poolside drinks. With less calories and lots of fruit you’ll be able to celebrate Independence Day looking stylish and feeling lean with this colorful cocktail. Please note this is for those 21 and over – Please drink responsibly.

I absolutely love celebrating July 4th in Florida! The boats are on the water, the coolers are packed full of drinks and the barbecues are hot! This holiday is only meant to be celebrated outdoors.
This is also a great weekend to let go and indulge a little bit. Between the BBQ food and the beers, the calories add up even if we pretend not to care. More importantly, we forget to hydrate and cool off! This drink alone is absolutely perfect for everything!
It’s cool, it’s got the vodka, but it’s light and full of antioxidant rich fruits. You MUST eat the fruit at the end too, it’s also soaked in booze. So that’s that! A balance of fruit and booze, what’s not to love!? I think it’s perfect for the 4th of July!

I also sit and think about strawberries and blueberries making a guest appearance in some sort of dessert form as a child around this time of year. This is like a grown up way of eating your favorite berries! Plus, who is going to argue that the colors in this drink aren’t perfect for the holiday?

It’s pretty simple too. Soak some of your berries in orange liqueur on your way to the party. Make sure you bring some chilled tonic water and vodka and this will be so simple to throw together on the spot. If anything, all your party friends will be pretty impressed that you came up with a red, white and blue drink that gets the job done while staying with the theme.
Drink up and enjoy this refreshing cocktail by the grill with your closest friends!
