4 Cocktail Inspired Water Infusions with 4 Ingredients or Less

You want to drink water, but you hate the lack of flavor? Well here are 4 cocktail inspired water infusions (with 4 ingredients or less) to take that water from drab to fab and without the hangover!


A big thanks to the ladies on the NY Foodgasm Summer Weight Loss Challenge Page- especially Tiffany, Jennifer and Dawn. YOU have inspired this post and this fun idea!

Is drinking water a hassle? Do you feel like it's a chore to choke down the tasteless water you body needs so badly? For someone just staring out with water, it really sucks! Some of the ladies in NY Foodgasm Summer Weight Loss Challenge started posting about water. How do you get the water you need even if you HATE drinking it? They started posting some infusions- that got the wheels a turnin' in my head. Hmmmm I never made my own, why the hell not try it!

Then I took it to a whole notha level- I modeled them after some popular cocktails!

  • The Cosmopolitan for all those Sex In The City lovers.
  • Pina Colada for you fruity kinds that wanna feel like you're on vacation. 
  • The Mojito for the creative types. 
  • The Margarita for those that like all things south of the border. 
Infused for your pleasure! They're super easy to make and I assure you drinking water will NOT be boring anymore! Just take a look at these pretties below!

Pina Colada Pound Cake


Why is this a Foodgasm? 
Piña Colada is the stuff summer is made of and I don't know about you, but I could use a slice of summer. If you're in the part of this country where you experience the bitter cold...I know you are sooooo done with all of this. I have the answer here! A lowfat easy and delish  piña colada poundcake. 

Loaded with not only fresh pineapple and coconut milk- it also has coconut oil and is covered in toasted coconut. This dense and delish cake is a treat you don't have to feel any guilt for at all! 


What you need

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil, warmed up in microwave to become a liquid.
3/4 cup crushed pineapple
1 egg + 1 egg white
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white whole wheat flour
 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

How to make it

Preheat oven to 350º
1- In a mixer with paddle attachment, cream together sugar and coconut oil.
2- Add in the egg and egg white with the Greek yogurt, coconut milk and vanilla extract, be sure to scrape sides if you see the sugar and coconut oil sticking to the sides.
3- With the mixer on low, slowly add in your dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Will be very moist!
