Spring is one of my favorite seasons! I’m a spring babies (yay for Aries!)! Ever since I was a kid, March marked the first official day of Spring in my eyes!

Hi! I’m Paige, a professional food photographer, as well as a gluten-free and vegan recipe developer. A spring lover, citrus enthusiast and very much into this spring-tini recipe! Spring signifies more of a refresh to me than the new year. There is something so inviting about sitting outside when the weather starts to get nice again, revisiting all the familiarity of the warm weather just a year earlier and listening to the birds chirp in their happiness that just warms my soul.

I talk alot on my instagram and my blogs for Health-Ade about finding happiness within. The idea of personal motivation and growth is something that I push myself to feel daily. When I feel the warmth of the sun peeking out behind clouds after a long and cold winter, the self love and positively that got me through the grey winter shines light on the truth of my goals.

As a true spring lover, I created the freshest tasting Spring-tini to get those winter blues in the past! With the help of arguably one of the most refreshing flavors from Health-Ade, the Specifically Blood Orange-Carrot-Ginger Health-Ade Kombucha flavor, this Spring-tini makes any party better! Have no fear! If you don’t drink alcohol there is a mocktail recipe as well!

Let’s start the ‘tini!

This recipe is the perfect afternoon backyard party sip to take you right into Spring! When I created this recipe, I wanted to create the full embodiment of what this season means. The transition of new life with tulips blooming, the brightness of the sun, baby animals being born. The season of life and energy, Spring is about new chapters, fresh starts and even better the transition of Winter produce of citrus with the bright colors of flowers and blossoms! Bring brightness into your spring, with some pep in your step!

Step aside Winter, and welcome Spring with the most festive Spring cocktail out there! Tag me in your posts so I can see how you are welcoming Spring into your life! And always, stay positive, stay happy and enjoy some Health-Ade!
