Let’s face it, most of us set unattainable goals every New Year and the drive to accomplish them fizzles out soon after The New Year rolls around. I have never been the kind of person who does well being told I CAN’T have something, especially when it comes to food or cocktails. Because of this reason I stopped setting over-the-top health goals years ago (this is clearly obvious). I felt like there was so much pressure to succeed and I was just setting myself up for disappointment. Now that I’m getting older I do have a renewed desire to FEEL better and if looking better is a result of trying to feel better, then great. I have been taking time to assess what I actually eat and drink on a daily basis and decided to make a few small adjustments to being more healthy. So I decided to give my cocktails a health makeover.  I made three drinks using fresh fruit, herbs and healthier mixers like Kombucha.  Check out what I came up with! ![img_6011](https://thetipsyhousewife.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_6011.jpg?w=1000)   --- ## **Screwdriver** ![img_5868](https://thetipsyhousewife.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_5868.jpg?w=1000) 1 Part Vodka 4 Parts Fresh Squeezed Oranges 1/2 Orange Sliced 1 Splash of water or seltzer Place all ingredients in a shaker, shake well and pour over ice. --- ## **Vodka & Basil Lemonade** ![img_5862](https://thetipsyhousewife.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_5862.jpg?w=1000) 1 Part Vodka 4 Parts Fresh Squeezed Lemons 6 to 8 Basil Leaves 1 Part Water Place all ingredients in a shaker, shake well and pour over ice. --- ## **Booch Hooch** ![img_5843](https://thetipsyhousewife.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_5843.jpg?w=1000)1 Part Vodka 6 to 8 Blackberries 2 Parts of your favorite Kombucha Flavor Muddle the Blackberries with the Vodka Add Ice Fill the Rest of The Glass with Kombucha       --- I used [Solo Clear Cups](https://www.solocup.com/products) so that I could showcase the beautiful colors of these drinks and they just make everyday feel like a party! The Kombucha can also be very strong and can sometimes leave a residual smell in cups, so the fact that these solo cups are recycleable make them even more convenient. I think that making small changes in your routines can make a positive impact on your overall health. Starting with changing up your drinking routine is a great start to the New Year. These drinks will reduce you sugar intake, plus save you money! Using [Solo Cups](https://www.solocup.com/products) will also help you with clean up and spending money on take out coffee.  I look forward to coming up with more positive changes to my diet! Happy Eating and Drinking!
