- Clear spirits like vodka or gin.
- White wine with ice diluted (in moderation).
- Light coloured cocktails without strong pigments.
Conclusion
Remember that the key is to avoid foods and drinks with strong colours that could potentially stain your teeth. Opt for lighter-coloured options and be mindful of sauces and spices that might have vibrant pigments. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices is also essential for preserving your teeth whitening results.
