A Guide to Healthier Tipples

Drink more mindfully and moderately in 2017. Rather than binging on sugary pints and bottles of wine, try mixing some flavoursome fizzy tea with a splash of gin, or sparkling grapefruit and pineapple water with a dash of vodka. Or be a rebel and go alcohol free…

Seedlip

JARR Kombucha

UGLY Water
What: If you’re familiar with flavoured water, you know most of it is packed with sugar or sweeteners. Ugly isn’t dressed up to look pretty, it’s UNSWEET and has nothing to hide. Just sparkling water infused with natural fruit flavours. We like the Grapefruit & Pineapple flavour (it tastes a bit like Lilt without the sugar).
Mix with: A splash of vodka to liven things up!
Price: £1.15 per can
