In this episode, I'm speaking from the heart!  Sharing my first journal entry on my sobriety journey and diving into the person I want to be while asking you that same question! And of course, I have a correction to make.  Today I am 163* days sober.  Math was never my strong suit. ;)

Enjoy this mocktail recipe and tell me what you think!

Sparkling Sober Sangria

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pomegranate juice (for that deep, bold flavor and color)
• 1 cup sparkling water or soda (try a citrus flavor for extra zing)
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup cranberry juice
• A handful of fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• Sliced citrus fruit (orange and lemon slices work great)
• A few fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
• Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Fill a pitcher halfway with ice.
2. Add the pomegranate juice, orange juice, and cranberry juice. Give it a stir.
3. Drop in the berries and citrus slices – they make it look so fancy!
4. Top off with sparkling water or soda to add that fizzy pop.
5. Pour into glasses, garnish with a mint leaf, and enjoy!

This is perfect for football Sunday when you want something special in your glass. Plus, it’s loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, so it actually does a little good for you too!
