The IV Therapy Menu – If It Were a Cocktail list

The IV Therapy Menu – If It Were a Cocktail list

Especially when you’re taking advantage of mobile IV treatment, enjoying a revitalizing, poolside IV infusion therapy treatment almost feels the same as having an IRL cocktail in hand. Is it cosmically ironic that these “medicines” often have polar opposite effects on liver health and hydration? Who are we to say?

Believe it or not, the connection between IV concoctions and cocktails goes beyond how they are similarly ordered and experienced. We would even venture to say that many of our most popular IV formulations have their own eerily similar alcoholic doppelgangers. Read on to learn what your favorite IV concoctions would look like in cocktail form.

Nature’s Defense: Your “Not-Hot” Toddy

Save for the already implied temperature difference (no, your Nature’s Defense IV therapy drip will not be “served” hot), Nature’s Defense and the hot toddy are kindred spirits in more ways than one.

Hot toddies have been around for more than 400 years, and were since their inception used by Brits looking to combat the wet and dreary weather of Scotland, as well as the illness that inevitably followed. This drink relies on the many immune-boosting properties of honey and lemon, as well as cinnamon and cloves in later embellishments, to (actually) combat the cold.

Nature’s Defense is milder in the obvious way, but of a much higher proof than the hot toddy in another way, featuring a robust blend of B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, and a lot of vitamin C. It may not make you a better singer, but Nature’s Defense can go well beyond cold care, helping you fight the flu, allergies, and even COVID.

Hair of the Dog: The Bloody Mary

Personal opinions remain starkly divided when it comes to flavor (firm supporters over here), but nobody can refute the hangover-busting power of a nice, handmade bloody mary—we’ll have none of that “pre-mixed” business.

Obviously, a virgin mary would be the best hangover cure in terms of recovery and overall health, but if you’re battling the shakes and sweats, the non-alcoholic ingredients in a standard mary can still help you out. Tomatoes contain key electrolytes like sodium and potassium, as well as vitamin C, lycopene, and vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 in particular has been directly linked to reduction in hangover symptoms.

It should be of little surprise, then, that our own Hair Of The Dog IV drip contains plenty of B vitamins. This super potent hangover cure also contains magnesium, famotidine, ketorolac, and sodium chloride, which collectively help to reduce nausea, get that energy back up, restore hydration, and more.

Regenerate: The Espresso Martini

This connection feels even more kismet than the others, as you can have both the IV treatment and the cocktail in the same building, i.e., the hotel you just checked into after flying into town for that business trip.

The espresso martini may not be quite as nutritionally dense as our Regenerate IV drip, which comes with B12, a B complex, zinc, magnesium, and more, but it at least contains enough caffeine to get you to that pre-conference meeting that was scheduled way too close to your arrival time.

To be more precise, an espresso martini typically contains around 60 to 70 milligrams of caffeine, but that number can increase if coffee liqueur is added. Still, the Regenerate IV therapy drip will not only help you recover from that nasty bout of jet lag more completely, but can provide longer-lasting energy to get you through the day ahead.

Weight Loss: The Vodka Soda

Don’t let your friends call you boring. There’s nothing wrong with a quick and easy vodka soda. Yes, it’s the mixology equivalent of asking a gymnast to do a backflip, but you don’t care because you’re losing weight and feeling great.

Of course, a vodka soda with or without lime isn’t going to actively encourage weight loss, but at less than 100 calories each, it’s an easy way to stay within your calorie limit while still enjoying a refreshing cocktail.

Our Weight Loss IV formulation, on the other hand, can actually facilitate your body’s fat-burning furnace with B12, zinc, magnesium, L-carnitine, and more. As long as you are consistent in the diet and exercise department, you can expect nothing but TLC from that bathroom scale with the help of our Weight Loss IV therapy drip.

High-Dose Vitamin C: Your Super-Potent Mimosa

First, a clarification on scale. Our High-Dose Vitamin C IV drip offers ten grams of vitamin C in total, where a mimosa is going to kick in roughly 25-30 milligrams of vitamin C per serving, courtesy of the orange juice. In other words, the former is about 400 times more potent than the latter when it comes to vitamin C, and no, that is not a challenge (no matter how lit the brunch may be).

But the two cocktails are still similar in spirit. They’re simple, contain vitamin C, and facilitate several key processes in the body with the help of this multi-talented micronutrient.

Of course, the skin health benefits of vitamin C are probably going to be canceled out by the alcohol in the case of a mimosa, but point made.
