Life can be stressful sometimes, and after a long day of work, there’s nothing better than relaxing with your favorite meal and drink. The stresses of work, school, kids and life events can sometimes cause anxiety, but luckily there are a few remedies for reducing this.

You can stick to activities like yoga and exercising or listening to music to reduce stress, but what do you do if you don’t have the time for those activities daily? When you’re feeling stressed, one of the key measures of reducing it is supporting your adrenal system. Supporting this system comes with drinking the right fluids and eating right. By drinking an adrenal cocktail or a cortisol cocktail, you can give your immune system a boost. Fluids like coconut, ginger, lemon juice and orange juice are used in these drinks to balance hormones and make you feel more energetic.

If you’re looking for the perfect drink to sip on and give you an energy boost (that’s not coffee or tea), then these cortisol mocktail recipes are perfect.
