Juicy
Your favourite mocktails, with fruit juices as the core ingredient. Surely that means they’re healthy?
Pomegranate mojito mocktailA decadent version, using lemonade instead of soda water. But oh so refreshing. Try it. Ingredients 2 mint leaves 2 lime wedges Dash agave syrup 60 ml pomegranate juice 120 ml lemonade Optional Pomegranate seeds and mint sprig to garnish …
Watermelon lime mocktailThis is the best watermelon mocktail of all. Beautifully balanced with lime and agave syrup. Forget the rest.
Kamikaze MocktailThis is the more traditional kamikaze mocktail – orange juice, lime juice and a dash of bitters.
Cranberry lime rickeyLots of lovely tart lime, with cranberry juice and grenadine for extra colour and flavour. This disappears quickly!
MimosaA pretty name for a pretty drink. Traditionally orange juice and champagne, this was replaced with my favourite de-alcoholised sparkling cuvee.
Spicy watermelon mint agua frescaWatermelon, lime, mint, honey and a dash of tabasco. A perfect slightly spicy accompaniment for a spicy Nandos chicken.
Rosemary grapefruit mocktailThis could be a new favourite. It’s simple, tops up well, and looks incredibly elegant. And the fizz transforms it from a basic fruit juice into an exciting taste sensation.
Mint JulepThere seem to be two main variations on mint julep mocktails: the basic one, really focusing on the mint, with a little lemon and sugar; and one that tries to be closer to the adult cocktail, using ginger ale and lemon to mimic the bourbon of the original adult drink. This is the basic one.
Lime RickeyOriginally this was going to be a Grenadine Lime Rickey, until I found a lovely recipe at Saveur. Pure and simple, with lovely muddled wedges of lime at the base. A classic.
