If you’re looking to treat your brain to an alcohol-free Dry Friday, here are five brain-friendly mocktails to give a shake. Along with tasting great, they’ll help you stay hydrated. Getting enough water and fluids has been linked to higher energy, improved mood, clearer brain function, and even headache relief.
