You may have read this article from Thrillist about the new EBOOST margarita being served at Lure FishBar in New York. It contains all kinds of healthy juices like orange, clementine, nectarine and grapefruit, together with a shot of the new Acai-Pomegranate EBOOST. Plus premium tequila, which is only healthy in a sinus-clearing kind of way.
Anyway, that got us thinking about other possibilities for EBOOST cocktails. We came up with these two. What can you come up with?
Cranberry Surprise
Mix one packet of orange EBOOST with 6oz cranberry juice and 4oz soda water. Add lime.
EBOOST Palmer
Mix one packet Pink Lemonade with 8oz iced tea and 2oz soda water. Add lemon.

Are you ready to kick your workout up a notch? Try the new EBOOST workout, and don’t forget to leave a comment telling us your best time.
Here’s how it works: Use a stopwatch to time yourself from beginning to end. Don’t stop the clock ever; the timer should run from the moment you start the run until the moment you finish the last push-up. Note your time in a journal so you can track your progress from week to week. And no cheating! We may not be able to tell, but your wardrobe certainly will.
Perform the following exercises in order:
- Run one mile as fast as you possibly can.
- Push-Up Countdown: 10 reps, rest ten seconds; 9 reps, rest nine seconds; 8 reps, rest eight seconds; and so on, all the way to 1.
- Pull-Ups: Use a wide grip and do 25 proper pull-ups. Women can use the weight-assisted machine.
- Bicep Curls into Shoulder Press: 25 lb dumbells (men) or 10lb (women). Perform the “up” section of the bicep curl,move into a shoulder press, then return to the bicep curl position and perform the “down” section. This constitutes one rep.Use a fluid motion, rotating one arm at a time. 25 reps per arm/side.
- Plank: Hold for one minute, rest for 5 seconds; repeat for 3 total reps.
And your time is? EBOOST co-founder John McDonald managed 25 min 35 seconds. His trainer Andy Spear at Equinox Soho beat that time by 10 minutes. How did you do?

Designed for beleaguered imbibers, Lure’s special off-the-menu marg combines health-boosting ingredients like vitamin-packed fresh-squeezed juices (yuzu, blood orange, clementine, nectarine, grapefruit, navel orange); proteinaceous egg white; John McDonald’s new Acai-Pomegranite flavored EBOOST (everything from green tea extract to B-12 to promote focus); and premium silver tequila, for the opposite of all those things.
