Did you know that green chiles provide a ton of medicinal benefits? Green Chiles are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, iron, and zinc, which act as an immune booster, are anti-inflammatory, promote digestion, and help your heart, eyes, and skin!

This cocktail gets an extra boost from another spice - ginger, a flowering plant originating in southeast Asia and used for medicinal purposes for ages. Ginger contains gingerol, which is high in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
