It’s FRIIIIDAAAAYYY!!! And it’s still summer - when the living is easy… So take it easy! Enjoy the beautiful weather because it’s not here for long. I say put your goals on hold for now, just until the end of summer. The Fall is the perfect time to reevaluate ambitions and start fresh. In the meantime, have fun with friends and enjoy the balmy weather!

So that’s what I did last weekend, as it was the Civic long weekend here in Canada. While I wanted to partake in drinking, I still wanted to make the healthiest choice possible. Enter: a healthier-for-you cocktail recipe, The Chocolate-Covered Grasshopper , and a new feature column here on Live Lighter, “Healthier Alcohol Bevvies.”

For this weekend, we’re going more juicy rather than milky. Please enjoy…
