Celebrations, catch-ups or even just winding down after a long day, there are plenty of moments where you might want to reach for a drink.
But reducing how much alcohol you drink can have real benefits for your physical and mental wellbeing. It can help improve your sleep, boost your energy, and support your mood, focus and gut health.
If you're looking to cut back, one easy way is to swap every second drink for water or soda water. Or try a delicious alcohol-free option like this refreshing spritz.
It’s light, gut-friendly (thanks to kombucha) and low in calories. You can skip the grenadine if you’re watching your sugar intake, it’s just as tasty without it.
It makes 4 serves. Each spritz is approximately 66 calories (280 kilojoules).
