The countdown is almost here. A countdown to a new year where we can kiss the year we just had goodbye and open our arms to a new year full of new potentials. The more traditional way to welcome in a new year is with a good party and some drinks. Others might celebrate at home with some loved ones struggling to make it to that midnight hour. And then there are some that don’t quite get the hype. For us, this year we are going to countdown with a workout and a nice post-workout watermelon recovery drink recipe and we invite you to join us.

Watermelon Recovery Drink Recipe
serves 2
ingredients
1 service RESCUE
¼ cup lime juice about 2 limes juiced
1 cups club soda
4 sprigs of mint
instructions
- Slice four thin rounds from your limes. Set aside to be used for garnish. Juice the rest of the two limes.
- In a medium bowl, mix lime juice and RESCUE.
- Place 5 mint leaves at the bottom of each of the glasses. Use a muddler to release the flavor of the mint.
- Fill glasses with ice. Pour RESCUE and lime juice mixture evenly in the glasses. Top with club soda until full. Gently stir with a spoon.
- Garnish each glass with reserved lime wedge. Enjoy!
Now you might be wondering what is RESCUE and why is it in this recovery drink? Great question. RESCUE is an instantized vegan BCAA formula that helps support muscle recovery and promote lean muscle protein synthesis for men and women with a perfectly balanced ratio of 2:1:1. Also, it is rich in L-Citrulline, our matrix helps improve muscle recovery and support nitric oxide production. It tastes great and why not have a little fun with your recovery drink by making a fun mocktail out of it! Cheers!
