Give your favorite cocktails a makeover by cutting down the artificial ingredients, sugar, and calories with alternatives like coconut sugar for standard cane sugar. Keep your body healthy and happy by substituting sugary-chemical mixes with all natural and gluten-free ingredients like St-Germain. The St-Rita cocktail is just one example of how to create a sweet, yet guilt-free Margarita by simply substituting the traditional Sweet n’ Sour mix with St-Germain.
