Clean alcohol !

I love letting my hair down, hitting the dance floor, 💃and embracing my one "naughty" day a week or sometimes even the whole weekend —because, let’s be real, a little fun fuels the rest of the week! Will I ever grow up??? Nooooooo!

How much you indulge? Well, that’s entirely up to you. 😉 But I find that too much just isn’t worth it anymore!

Now, let's talk about the trendiest buzzword in the drinking scene—"clean alcohol." Sounds fancy, right? But what does it actually mean? Basically, it’s all about sipping on drinks with minimal nasties:

🍸 Pure Spirits – Think vodka, gin, or tequila that have been distilled multiple times for extra purity.
🚫 Low-Sugar & Low-Carb – No added sugars, no fake flavors, just the good stuff.
🌱 Organic & Natural Ingredients – Made from organic grains, fruits, or botanicals, free from pesticides and chemicals.
🥂 Minimal Hangover Effects – Less junk = fewer regrets in the morning!

So, if you’re on the hunt for a clean, crisp buzz, here are your best bets:

🏆 Top "Clean" Alcohol Picks

(Examples of clean brands further down)

1️⃣ Pure & Distilled Spirits (Aka the VIPs of Clean Drinking)

• Vodka

• 100% Agave Tequila

• Gin

2️⃣ Organic & Natural Wines 🍷

No added sulfites, no preservatives. But... not for me right now! 😔 I’m on a low-histamine diet, which means no fermented drinks, so wine is on pause.

What I’m Drinking

Since wine is off the table at the moment because of my histamine overload, I’m sticking to my go-to clean cocktails:

✨ Vodka or gin + sparkling water, blackcurrant, a little ginger, Stevia for sweetness (Skinny Tonic is a fave—no sugar, just Stevia!)

Tips for Sipping Smart & Staying Fresh 🍸

💧 Hydrate – Water between drinks = fewer regrets.
⚡ Stick to clear spirits – Vodka, gin & tequila 
🍋 Skip sugary mixers – Soda water, lime, or herbal infusions are where it’s at.

So there you have it! A little fun, a little wisdom, and a whole lot of clean sipping. Cheers! 🥂
