Summer Citrus Collagen Cocktail
While in some places the heat of summer is making way for cooler temperatures, in San Diego it is still hot, hot, hot. And that means we are still thinking about light, refreshing summer cocktails (yes, even on a Monday). But cocktails don’t have to mean sugar, calories and nasty hangovers. You can treat yourself while keeping things light and refreshing and even adding a little detox to your retox. This summer we’ve been adding Vital Protein’s collagen peptides to our cocktails and loving it. Collagen is great for hair, skin, nails, joints, your GI tract and more, and best of all, Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides dissolve into just about everything without changing the consistency or taste. Stop by ALCHEMĒ today, pick some up and cheers to living in the land of never ending summer.
