Simple Sparkling Tea Cocktails + Giveaway

By

Hey, friends!

The weekend is just about here! Woohoo! I hope you have something fun and exciting planned for it. I actually have a busy weekend ahead. Listen to this packed agenda: Trip to the aquarium, an overnight on Cape Cod, a pool party, date night with Mal, and potentially driving to L-town to visit family. Phew. I hope I can fit it all in! Anyway, with the weekend right around the corner, I wanted to share some super simple and seriously delicious recipes for sparkling tea cocktails. Oooh, yes. They’re incredible, so you are definitely in for a treat. Please add them to your “To Do list” for the weekend! 🙂

Summer is absolutely my favorite time of year, and I truly love everything about it, especially getting together with family and friends at barbecues, parties, and other get-togethers. I mean, who can resist all of that eating, drinking, and being merry when the weather is nice outside?! And there’s nothing better than an iced cold cocktail on a hot summer day. Am I right?

That’s why I am especially excited to partner with Bhakti to help spread the word about their wonderful company and new sparkling teas. Bhakti means “devotion through social action” and the brand has given $350,000 to organizations all over the world that empower women and girls and support the environment and sustainability via their gitagiving.org website. (Learn more about The Gita Project.) I love supporting companies that prioritize giving back and inspiring others to live their “Bhakti” by doing the same, and I hope you consider purchasing Bhakti products for these reasons too!

Bhakti’s sparkling teas (they’re different from seltzer) are carbonated carbonated Fair Trade tea blended with fresh organic juices. Each one has a different tea “base” (black, maté, matcha, rooibos) blended with fresh organic juice and all of their flavors have less than 60 calories and 14 grams of sugar per bottle. They’re light and refreshing with a hint of fizz, so it’s no surprise they also make a great mixer for cocktails, especially since they’re so fresh and flavorful on their own. When mixed with alcohol, they actually remind me of those super fancy drinks you get at an upscale restaurant in the summer! That said, here are 3 simple recipes for truly delightful sparkling tea cocktails that are guaranteed to wow your taste buds and impress guests! FYI: These cocktails travel well to the beach and parties too! You can find them at Whole Foods Markets nationwide or online with the brand’s Store Finder.

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
