Revitalize Your Day: The Ultimate Adrenal Cocktail Recipe

Instructions

Begin by preparing your citrus. Juice one medium orange to get about 1 cup of fresh juice. Then, juice half a lime to get approximately 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
In a cocktail shaker or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice, and unsweetened coconut water.
Add the 1/4 teaspoon of Redmond Real Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt. If you’re using cream of tartar for an extra potassium boost, add that now as well.
Secure the lid on your shaker or jar and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, or until all the ingredients are well combined and chilled.
Pour the mixture into a glass filled with ice, if desired, and enjoy immediately.

Tips

For the best flavor and nutrient profile, use freshly squeezed orange and lime juice.
Adjust the saltiness to your preference. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and add a tiny pinch more if needed.
If you don’t have cream of tartar, you can omit it, but it does contribute significantly to the potassium content.
Ensure your coconut water is unsweetened to avoid unnecessary sugars.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy this adrenal cocktail first thing in the morning to kickstart your day.
It’s also a perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up when you feel a slump coming on.
Serve chilled over ice for a refreshing beverage.
Can be enjoyed warm by gently heating the ingredients (do not boil).

Storage Tips

This adrenal cocktail is best consumed immediately after preparation to maximize nutrient benefits. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but be aware that some of the Vitamin C may degrade over time.
