This cortisol cocktail is a quick, refreshing drink made with orange juice, coconut water, lemon, and a pinch of salt—ingredients that support hydration, electrolytes, and vitamin C intake.

Notes

If your first glass tastes amazing, awesome. If it tastes weird and you make a face but then tweak it and love it, even better. That’s the fun part. Life, like this little drink, doesn’t need perfection to hit the spot. Try it, play with it, spill a little juice on the counter, and enjoy every sip anyway.
