The Lime Rocket
This mocktail has been my go-to drink this summer!

This LIME ROCKET is fresh, unexpectedly delicious & takes less than 3 minutes to make! And the best part? It doesn’t contain alcohol! There are a number of reasons to reduce our alcohol intake including fat loss, hormonal balance & gut health and having a great mocktail can make all the difference.
There are 2 ingredients in here that you may not expect in a drink - arugula & fennel! These veggies are what makes this drink so special. Arugula adds a peppery kick. Fennel is often compared to licorice, but as someone who is not a licorice fan, I find it has more of a delicate citrusy sweetness. Getting these fresh from local farms will provide the best flavour & most nutritional value. Check your local farmer’s market & health food store!
Directions
Add the arugula, lime juice, fennel & a pinch of the fronds to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until fennel & arugula are bruised.
Add water, fill with ice & shake vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds.
Strain evenly between two glasses filled with ice & top with tonic.
Garnish with a lime wheel & arugula leaf. Enjoy!
