Cran-Pear ‘Rita

This festive version of a margarita is super hydrating thanks to coconut water and fresh seasonal fruits: cranberries, pears and lime.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup cranberries
  • 2 pears
  • 1 lime, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Splash of coconut water
  • Optional rim: lime, salt and chili powder

DIRECTIONS

  • Juice cranberries, pears and lime⁣
  • Add juice mixture to glasses of your choice with the apple cider vinegar and top with coconut water.⁣
  • To create a salt and chili powder rim for your glass, simply take a lime wedge and rub it around the perimeter of your glass. Then add a small amount of salt and chili powder to a plate and dip and twist the glass into it to coat the rim. ⁣

TIP

Instead of coconut water, make it bubbly by adding a splash of club soda.

BENEFITS

Pears are full of potassium, phenolic compounds, copper and vitamins B, C and K. Those phenolic compounds may help slow the growth of harmful gut bacteria.
