Lemon-Ginger Electrolyte Drink

This refreshing lemon and ginger electrolyte drink is a vibrant, low-sugar alternative to shop-bought sports beverages. Combining the zingy brightness of fresh lemon and lime with the gentle heat of ginger juice, it offers a sophisticated flavour profile that is as revitalising as it is delicious. The addition of a pinch of sea salt and mineral-rich coconut water helps to replenish the body naturally, making it an excellent choice for post-workout recovery or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Ideal for those seeking a healthier lifestyle, this homemade tonic avoids the artificial colours and refined sugars often found in commercial versions. It is incredibly simple to prepare, requiring only a few fresh ingredients and minimal effort. For the best results, serve it chilled over plenty of ice, perhaps with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of citrus for a professional finish.
