Healthy Party Drinks

Need some ideas for healthy party drinks? Are you tired of the sugar laden junk that's out there? With these simple party drink recipes, you'll be able to quickly and easily quench any thirst. I'm all about keeping it healthy and easy.

I like to sweeten my beverages with Stevia. It's a plant. It's very sweet. I don't have time to go into the woes of artificial sweetners. They are bad news. Dr. Mercola wrote a book on it. Mercola. com is a great source if you're into health at all.

The brand I like is KAL, Pure Stevia Extract. You can find it at health food stores. You can also get the packets at grocery stores. The measurements for stevia vary greatly, so you might have to adjust here and there.

Use sugar if you have to. Just keep it at a bare minimum. Parties should not cause a lot of stress. Do what's easy for you.

Virgil's Rootbeer

If you want to serve soda, this is a great choice. It has natural sugar in it, but it's relatively healthy when you consider the choices out there. Check for it at your health food store. It comes in bottles or a keg. Great for parties. It also comes in other flavors besides rootbeer. Really yummy!
