Cheers to this icy cold Lime Mojito Mocktail. Mwah!

When the heat is on the last thing you want to deal with is pesky hot flushes right?!

Although they’re one of the most common signs and symptoms of perimenopause, menopause (and sometimes post-menopause) hot flushes are an unwelcome guest.

There are a multitude of ways to try and minimise them such as taking our Merry Peri® or Perky Post® and keeping well-hydrated by drinking a long, cool, alcohol-free glass of deliciousness.

In fact, when we shared our easy-peasy Lime Mojito Mocktail recipe with our private Facebook group they liked it so much we thought we’d share it here too.

Tip of the day

Unfortunately wine, Champagne and cocktails don’t do our symptoms any favours. In fact, they can magnify them! And we simply can’t metabolise alcohol of any kind the way we once did.

This mocktail is delicious and will keep your hormones happy too.

Lime Mojito Mocktail

(The single ingredients are for a glass, use more for a jug)

Ingredients:

A bunch of fresh mint leaves
1-3 limes for juicing
1-4 lime wedges
Sparkling water
Ice

You could always substitute lemons for limes – no rules!

What to do:

Add the mint leaves to the glass/jug and muddle (a muddle stick lightly mashes the mint leaves to extract the flavours)
Follow with the lime wedges
Pour in juice
Throw in some ice
Top with sparkling water

If you’re feeling adventurous you could add a salty rim to your glass.
