Let’s talk flu season. There’s always that time of the year where sickness surrounds us, encapsulating every healthy human that crosses its path. And the worst is when you contract a common cold midweek, leaving you exhausted and hopeless for any fun weekend plans you might have had. But wait – what do you get when you cross vitamin C and alcohol? When you mix the good and the (what’s considered) “bad,” you create a concoction that’s the best of both worlds: Emergen-C cocktails. So start sippin’ – you’ve got an immune system to protect!
