Paleo Alcohol Guide

With the holiday coming up I thought I would offer a few alcohol suggestions if you do happen to reach for that adult beverage over the 4th of July! Always remember to drink responsibly and have a designated driver. 

Worst Alcohol Options:

Wine coolers (avoid all malted beverages in general) 
Mixed drinks like mudslides or pina coladas (very high in sugar and calories!) 
Liqueurs
Regular beer

Best Alcohol Options:

Red wine (Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot)
Hard cider (Crispin, Angry Orchard, Strong Bow) 
Champagne
Gluten-free beer 
Tequila 
Potato vodka
Ciroc vodka- (made from grapes) 
Whiskey
Rum

Best Mix Options:

Avoid colas and the like as a mix, and instead use:

Club soda or mineral water
La Croix Sparkling Water
Coconut water
Coconut milk 
"Just" Brand Cranberry Juice
Ice cubes
Freshly squeezed juice (especially lemons and limes; less sugar)





Wishing you a happy, healthy, and SAFE Independence Day!
