4. Sour apple margarita

4 lime wedges

Sliced green apples

Sea salt

Jalapeno slivers

1 cup sour green apple juice

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

¾ cup tequila

Not every winter drink has to be a sugary, creamy affair. This unique spicy and sour margarita is proof of that. To make it, soak whole lime wedges, green apples, and jalapeno slivers in the tequila for a few hours. Line a margarita glass with sea salt and add a lime wedge. Strain the soaking tequila into this glass. Add the lime juice and sour green apple juice, and stir the mix. Your antioxidant-rich and relatively sugar-free drink is ready.

5. Berry Sangria

Assorted berries (Strawberries, cherries, cranberries, blackberries, blueberries, mulberries)

1 cup sugar-free pomegranate juice

Sweet red apples, sliced

Oranges, sliced

Sugar to taste

40 ml of your favorite dry red wine

Making sangria is quite easy, so this one is all about minimum effort. Plus, the presence of a smooth liquor like red wine makes sure you won’t have a raging headache the next day. To make it, soak the sparingly sugared berries in the wine and pomegranate juice overnight. Strain the drink the next day, and add some fresh slices of strawberry to the drink, garnished with a slice of orange. As antioxidant-rich as alcohol gets, this juicy and fruity mix is just perfect for autumn!

Fix a day and shell out some time for your health. Make these cocktails in your blender at your place instead of going out, and keep yourself warm this winters. Stay healthy!
