Juicy

A 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     …

This is the best watermelon mocktail of all. Beautifully balanced with lime and agave syrup. Forget the rest.

This is the more traditional kamikaze mocktail – orange juice, lime juice and a dash of bitters.

Omg. This packs a punch. V Energy drink + lemon juice + lime juice. Kapow!

Lots of lovely tart lime, with cranberry juice and grenadine for extra colour and flavour. This disappears quickly!

A pretty name for a pretty drink. Traditionally orange juice and champagne, this was replaced with my favourite de-alcoholised sparkling cuvee.

Watermelon, lime, mint, honey and a dash of tabasco. A perfect slightly spicy accompaniment for a spicy Nandos chicken.

This 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.

There 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.

Originally 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.
