Lemongrass Ginger Jalape\u00f1o Cooler boasts the anti-inflammatory and digestive aids of ginger, plus the added health benefits of lemongrass and jalape\u00f1o, making it a powerful detox drink. Add vodka or tequila for a refreshing cocktail with benefits!<\/em> Excitement mounts as we realize there’s a\u00a0confluence of nature ushering in the momentous occasion that brings us to beautiful Santa Cruz, California on this Friday the 13th. Celebrations surrounding College Girl’s graduation from UC Santa Cruz promise to be intensified by the real and imagined hyper magnetic influence of a full moon coinciding with attempts to laugh in the face of superstitions surrounding the calendar date. As if further cause for good cheer were necessary to make this a truly outstanding weekend, it also happens be be my brother’s birthday, Flag Day, and Father’s Day. Wow!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In honor of all these events, I thought a special elixir was in order. Earlier in the week, I made a batch of Lemongrass Ginger Jalape\u00f1o Cooler <\/strong>from Melissa’s The Great Pepper Cookbook<\/a>. With the healing qualities of ginger – time-tested, anti-inflammatory and digestion-friendly properties, in addition to its numerous other health benefits – this is a magnificent detox drink on its own. It only gets better with the addition of lemongrass which is widely used to alleviate respiratory conditions and trace amounts of\u00a0capsaicin\u00a0<\/span><\/span>from the jalape\u00f1o triples the benefits.<\/p>\n
