This alcohol-free bug-buster is the perfect tipple for cold evenings, and a great one to get you through the last weekend of dry January.
Serves 1
80ml coconut water (preferably raw)
50ml fresh orange juice
15ml fresh lemon juice
15ml fresh lime juice
20ml elderflower cordial (organic, for preference)
20ml pure aloe vera juice
1 thumbnail-sized piece root ginger, peeled, plus 1 slice extra to garnish
1cm-wide slice large red chilli
Put everything in a blender, blitz smooth, then pass through a sieve (it’s fine unsieved, but the drink will then be spicier because of all the little chilli flecks through it).
Put a handful of ice in a shaker, add the blitzed mix and shake hard. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a slice of fresh ginger.
