Anyone looking for a fruit-filled start to their day, a nutritious boost in the afternoon or a healthy-alternative to the post-work pint, can take advantage of a new all-day de-tox cocktail menu for a vitamin injection of fruity goodness at DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester – Piccadilly.
The tangy, fresh-fruit beverages combine the hearty elements of a healthy breakfast smoothie and a dash of sophistication to offer a variety of non-alcoholic cocktails available from morning ‘til night in the hotel’s Piccadilly Lounge bar and City Café restaurant.
The brain-boosting blends feature a host of ingredients including elderflower and pomegranate, traditional de-tox staples used for hundreds of years, with more unusual additions of orange marmalade and Earl Grey tea, to create a contemporary range of revitalising flavours. Boosting the immune system and increasing oxygen levels, the cocktails can also give drinkers a top up of important vitamins and minerals including vitamin A which is good for the skin, potassium, which can help reduce blood pressure, and dietary fibre, which aids digestion and can lower blood cholesterol.
Those looking for added pep can add a shot of alcohol to their cocktail, taking the edge off a long day or starting the evening off with a healthy hit.
