Have you ever been on a cleanse or a detox — or you just don't drink — and you've dreaded going to a party? It's easy to understand why. Here's what happens: you go to the party, and you're offered a glass of water. Or water with lemon. Or mmmmaaaybe some sparkling water or cider.

In other words, the choices are limited. Not special, not fun. So you stoically nurse your tap water while everyone is else is sipping fine wine or artisanal, handcrafted cocktails.

If this has ever happened to you, or you want to save your non-drinking party guests from tap-water boredom, you need my Ginger Hibiscus Iced Tea/Mocktail.

This delicious, sweet-tart mocktail is definitely un-mockworthy. It's cold-brewed, handshaken with tart cherry concentrate, then served up with a side of powerful antioxidants and nutrients.

Here's the deal: in clinical trials, hibiscus tea has been shown to help regulate high blood pressure. The tea base also includes ginger, a natural anti-inflammatory agent. In addition, tart cherry juice is a good source of melatonin, which supports healthy sleep quality. Yay — better sleep!

Next time you're hosting a party, I hope you brew up a batch of this ginger-hibiscus goodness for your non-drinking guests. They'll love you for it, and their bodies will too.
