Although the pandemic has crushed many of our traditional New Year festivities, you can still celebrate safely at home with the people you live with or virtually with friends and family.
If you’re looking for a celebratory, non-alcoholic drink that you can share with children, we’ve got you covered with this Ginger Beer Mojito Mocktail. Ginger beer is a great mixer because it is naturally sweet and bursting full of flavor.
This week, federal health officials released new dietary guidelines that say evidence links alcohol to certain cancers and some forms of cardiovascular disease. While drinking alcohol does not mean you will develop cancer or heart issues, it just means that there is an elevated risk for developing it.
If your New Year’s resolution is to become more aware of your health, Colleen Takagishi, Oncology Nutritionist at NorthShore, knows that mocktails are a great way to mindfully partake in the fun.
