Let’s be real, the data shows most of you are middle-aged ladies in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause. (Who knew menopause would ever dominate the news cycle?)

That might mean hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and weight gain. Guess what? Alcohol makes these symptoms worse. Many of us occasionally like to sip a glass of wine or whiskey. However, one of the biggest improvements in my health and wellness has been to reduce alcohol in my life.

Once a month you can count on an easy mocktail like this Cherry Ginger Spritz to add to your repertoire. All of the recipes are made with accessible ingredients that you could find in a normal home bar. The hardest thing you might need to do is make (or buy) a simple syrup.
