A Refreshing Quilter’s Mocktail Recipe - Zen Stitch Spritzer
After hours of piecing together your latest quilt or practicing that tricky free-motion quilting, it’s easy to find yourself in need of a refreshing pick-me-up. But why reach for the usual sugary drink when you can enjoy a beverage that not only tastes great but also supports your health and keeps you energized for your next creative burst?
Allow me to introduce the Zen Stitch Spritzer, a delicious, quilting-inspired mocktail that’s as vibrant as your fabric stash and as refreshing as a crisp morning walk through your favorite quilt show. Made with Buda Juice Zen Ginger Shots, Peach Mango Orange GoodBelly Probiotics, and sparkling water, this drink is packed with health benefits that will help you stay balanced and focused for your next quilting project.
Why Quilters Love the Zen Stitch Spritzer
As quilters, we know that our craft goes beyond just fabric and thread. We pour our hearts into each stitch, creating quilts that bring warmth and comfort not only to ourselves but also to our families, friends, and even those we've never met. Whether it's a cherished gift or a donation to someone in need, every quilt tells a story of love and care.
Speaking of hard work, here I am, deep in the quilting zone, working on a special charity quilt for children in need. And while I'm stitching away, my trusty mannequin, Daisy, is keeping me company—looking stylish as always in one of our Halloween t-shirts. It's a busy but rewarding time in the sewing room, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Like me, all Quilters know the importance of finding balance—whether it’s balancing color schemes or balancing life. Our Zen Stitch Spritzer is here to help. With the invigorating properties of ginger and the gut-friendly benefits of probiotics, this drink provides a refreshing boost that’ll keep you quilting, cutting, and stitching with ease.
Ginger: The Quilter’s Secret Weapon
Ginger has been used for centuries for its healing properties. Known to aid in digestion, reduce inflammation, and fight off nausea, it’s a quilter’s best friend after long hours hunched over a cutting mat. Ginger also has a warming quality, making it perfect for those cooler days when you’re snuggled up with your latest quilt project. It can even help to ease muscle soreness from all that quilting motion. Not only does it add a delightful zing to your drink, but it also supports overall well-being. We are fortunate enough to have Buda Juice Zen Ginger Shots in our local grocery, but you don't, you're sure to find other Ginger Shot products which will go well in this mocktail. Feel free to experiment!
Probiotics: Your Gut’s Best Friend
Probiotics are the good bacteria that help keep your gut healthy, and a happy gut means a happier quilter. The Peach Mango Orange GoodBelly Probiotics in this mocktail offer a flavorful way to get your daily dose of probiotics, which can improve digestion, boost your immune system, and even enhance your mood. After all, the only thing better than a finished quilt is the good feeling that comes with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Look for this or other juicy probiotic drinks in your local grocery.
