The demand of Health beverage drinks is growing up day by day. The functional properties and therapeutic benefits of Amla, ginger and mint are known worldwide. Keeping this in view, an attempt was made to prepare a therapeutic ready- to – serve drink (RTS) from Amla, lemon, ginger and mint juice. The value of Amla, Lemon, Ginger, and mint in the formulated drink was used in samples T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. The products were subjected to standard physic-chemical, sensory and microbial analysis and accordingly variant T3 was found to be the most preferred with respect to taste, aroma and overall acceptability. RTS beverages were found to be good nutritional value. Microbial analysis of the RTS during storage period up to 60 days revealed that it was free from any spoilage.
