Homemade Electrolyte Drink: Genius Mocktail | Max Lugavere
Minimizing alcohol intake is good for your energy levels and can even improve sleep quality, but for those of us who love a cocktail, this is a great "mocktail" for detoxing and/or if you simply don't drink, says The Genius Life author Max Lugavere.
It's a smart drink because it gives you a boost of hydration, electrolytes from the salt, vitamin C from the lime and has almost no calories, he adds.
