Making Liver-Friendly Mocktails with a Twist
Mocktails are a fun and flavorful way to enjoy beverages that support liver health. Focus on fresh fruit juices, sparkling water, and liver-friendly herbs or spices without added sugar or alcohol. Ingredients like fresh lemon, ginger, turmeric, and antioxidant-rich juices such as cranberry or pomegranate can make drinks both refreshing and supportive for your liver.
