PINK ROSE COLLAGEN MOCKTAIL

Serving size: 1

This mocktail creation came about organically as a creative means to get my daily shot of apple cider vinegar in. I found that the astringent nature of the ACV was disguised well in some coconut water, rose essence, and honey.

I was originally drinking this in the morning and then realized it would make for a great mocktail and later started adding my plant-based collagen dose to it for even more beauty benefits.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup coconut water

• 1 tsp rosewater infused honey

• 1/2 tablespoon The Beauty Chef's Collagen Inner Beauty Boost

• ice

Using Harmless Harvest coconut water will impart a natural pink hue and will be further amplified by the collagen booster.

My favorite brands of rosewater infused honey are Makabi & Sons and Zach & Zoe. If you do not have access to rosewater infused honey, use 1 tsp of raw honey and add several drops of rosewater.

DIRECTIONS

This is a relatively straightforward mocktail combination. Combine the apple cider vinegar, rosewater infused honey, and collagen booster in a glass. Stir until the honey is well dissolved, then add the ice followed by the coconut water and stir once more.

I like to serve this one in a martini glass and strain out the ice. Just be sure you don't skip the ice step entirely as this tastes much better completely chilled.

I love how sexy, sophisticated, and fun this mocktail looks and that it completely disguises the taste of apple cider vinegar. I notice a huge difference when I'm being diligent about my daily dose of it and this mocktail makes it easier to get down. Adding the collagen boost is optional, but I am a huge fan of this product as it supports your body's natural production of collagen and plumps & protects your skin from the inside (amongst countless other benefits).
