Viral infections spread rapidly during monsoon. Hence, it’s crucial to focus on building a strong immune system to protect yourself. So whether it’s grabbing a drink with office colleagues or weekend party scenes with friends, you can ensure that your mocktails have a healthy twist by opting for drinks with natural immunity-boosting ingredients. “My go-to option during this time of the year is the Monsoon Shield, a zesty, tropical immunity booster that comprises ginger, basil, orange and lime juice, and passion fruit,” says Ravi Patel, executive bartender, The Westin Mumbai Garden City, Mumbai, adding, that the oranges have a vitamin C punch, ginger adds warmth and lime aids with immunity.
