Whether you're doing dry January or just trying to drink less in general, it can be such a bummer to drink water when your friends or co-workers are knocking back cocktails. We never want you to miss out on any fun, so we created four superfood, super-functional cocktails—all without a drop of alcohol. When your friends are nursing a hangover, you'll be relishing your turmeric-inspired glow or enjoy the gut-soothing benefits of your piña colada. Bottoms up!

Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Lavender Bee's Knees

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon culinary lavender
1 cup filtered water
Handful of ice cubes

Method

In the bottom of a cocktail shaker or glass, muddle the lavender (you can use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon) until it's crumbled apart.
Add turmeric, lemon, honey, and lavender, and shake or stir well, until all ingredients are combined (if using a shaker, add ice; if not, wait till the next step).
Strain and serve cold (over ice if you weren't using a shaker) with a sprig of lavender for garnish.
