From The Spa to Your Cocktail: Mango, Lavender, Tomato and Beyond

We asked you to fill our heads with quenching happy hour cocktails and unbelievable spa treatments in order to win a 6-month supply of ZICO coconut water…and boy did you deliver!

In order for your entry to qualify, you had to identify a single edible ingredient that’s already a true multitasker and give us an example of a tasty cocktail and a spa treatment it stars in. We had a lot of fabulous entries, and quite a few of you provided the recipes for your concoctions. Below, some of our favorite recipes, and the lucky winner!

Cucumbers for puffy eyes and in a Pimm’s cup!

2 ounces Pimm’s No. 1
7UP, lemon-lime soda, or ginger ale
Slice of lemon
Slice of cucumber

Pour the Pimm’s and 7UP into a chilled highball glass or metal cup over ice. Squeeze a slice of lemon well as you drop it in the glass; then stir gently and garnish with a cucumber slice. - Brenda

My favorite spa treatment is the Coconut and Pineapple Paradise scrub and YES coconut is my favorite ingredients of all times!

Coconut Caipirinha
1/2 lime cut into wedges
2tsp. sugar
1 1/2 oz Leblon Cachaca
Zico COCONUT WATER

Muddle 1st 3 ingredients in a glass fill to the top with coconut water garnish with a lime wheel. – Marc

my very very favorite ingredient for both cocktails and spa treatments is:: LAVENDER!
its not commonly used in cooking, but when used right, its amazing and especially good with lemon.

Lavender Lemon Drop

2 oz Lemon Vodka
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp lavender simple syrup
lavender sprig for garnish

Lavender essential oil can be used in just about spa lotion or potion
I love a good, old-fashion lavender aromatherapy massage and maybe a lavender sugar scrub. – Karen

My ingredient is Vanilla
Vanilla rose wrap – They massage your skin with rose oil , while you lay on rose petals. Then you are wrapped with warm blankets, that have been steeped in crushed vanilla beans, cloves and cinnamon. AMAZING!

Chocolate Snow Bear
1oz Amaretto
1oz Creme de cacao
5oz VANILLA ice-cream
1/4 oz chocolate syrup
2 dashes vanilla extract

Combine all ingredientsin a blender in low speed. – Hellen Araujo

Tomato would be mine for a good ‘ol fashion Bloody Mary because they are refreshing anytime of day and then when my skin breaks out a good ‘ol Tomato Blemish Treatment refreshes my skin and makes it glow again.

Bloody Mary Recipe:

1 1/2 ounces (1 jigger) vodka
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Tabasco to taste
1 celery stick for garnish
1 lemon wedge for garnish
Combine the vodka, the tomato juice, the lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, the Tabasco, 1 cup ice cubes, and salt and pepper to taste, shake the mixture well, and strain it into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish the Bloody Mary with the celery stick and the lemon wedge.

Tomato Blemish Remedy

1 tomato, ripe, chopped
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tablespoon instant style oatmeal or old fashioned rolled oats
Blend all ingredients until just combined, in a paste. Apply to blemished skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay in place. Leave in place 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth, and rinse and tone. – luv_mydachsund

ENTER TO WIN: Glowology Scrub At Home Set!

Summer days can mean cool breezes and the sand between your toes – they can also mean melting makeup, sweat-clogged pores, itchy dead skin, lotion & deodorant buildup…and ew. We just grossed ourselves out.

Sounds like the doctor ordered a sugar scrub to reveal fresh, clean, summer-soft skin. But if you’re like us and you can’t make it to the spa for a weekly rubdown, it’s time to call Sugar Mama Honey Scrub and Bubbling Exfoliant from Glowology into service to help you scrub-a-dub your way to a spa worthy glow in your own shower.

WIN THE SET! (3 Winners)

A perfect bath and post-shave treat, Sugar Mama Honey Scrub is a decadent delight for you and yours, completely calorie-free. With a feather light cotton candy consistency, ultra-fine sugar is spun into honey, and then blended with shea butter, organic olive and sunflower seed oils to deliver an indulgent bath experience. Deliciously rich and highly effective, this body scrub gently exfoliates to remove dead surface skin cells, leaving skin silky soft, smooth and ultra-moisturized.

Key Ingredients:
Aloe Vera
– Provides moisture to soften, soothe and comfort skin.
Honey – Creates a water-tight film, allowing skin to rehydrate itself. Moisturizing, softening, sweet and fragrant.
Olive Oil – Moisturizes, protects and nourishes skin. It is very beneficial for dry or damaged skin.
Shea Butter – Protects skin’s suppleness while providing moisture to improve the appearance of dry skin.
Sugar Cane – Helps to dissolve and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. By decreasing the thickness of dead cells on the surface, a new layer of skin with a smoother texture and a more uniform color can be revealed.

A soothing shower secret with gentle exfoliating properties to smooth and soften skin for luxurious results you can see. With the Bubbling Exfoliant, tiny bubbles dance with oats and honey to gently remove dead surface skin cells without over-drying. Creamy, yet still lightweight, it’s formulated with skin-enriching emollients, that leave skin refreshed and primed for moisturization.
Key Ingredients:
Coconut Oil – Conditions skin, relieves dryness and flaking, prevents wrinkles and protects from the damaging effects of UV radiation from sun. Lathers readily and softens skin.
Glycerin – Absorbs moisture from the air and thereby helps products retain moisture. It improves the spreadability of products and provides skin moisturizing benefits.
Honey – Creates a water-tight film, allowing skin to rehydrate itself. Moisturizing, softening, sweet and fragrant.
Soybean Oil – Provides a dose of natural vitamin E, to moisturize and soothe.
