ORANGE GINGER SPARKLING MOCKTAIL

Try this refreshing and zingy sugar free mocktail for something summery and sophisticated... yet alcohol-free. This drink is also a great tonic for the dreaded summer cold, or when you're recovering from a big night out!

Serves: 2 

Ingredients: 

• 1 thumb size knob of fresh ginger
• 1 cup water 
• 2 Ener-C Sugar Free Orange Packets 
• 2 cups sparkling water
• Stevia to taste (if extra sweetness desired)
• 6 ice cubes
• Optional: Fresh orange slices to serve 

Directions: 

1. Add the fresh ginger and 1 cup of water to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl and transfer the ginger juice back to the blender.
2. In the same blender, add the Ener-C packets, sparkling water and stevia (if desired). Let fizz, and stir until combined. 
3. Fill your serving glasses with ice cubes and divide the juice between them. 
4. Garnish with fresh orange slices and serve.
