Others have liked this, but maybe I was a little heavy handed with the vanilla. A poor second to the honey blackberry mint mocktail. This recipe was based on https://www.lafujimama.com/blackberry-vanilla-mocktail/, with its beautiful imagery.

1/3 cup fresh blackberries
Juice from 1/2 a lemon

It really depends on the ingredients. I think this vanilla extract was quite strong, compared to the standard vanilla essence, and I put a bit too much in, overpowering everything else.
Persevered and made it, but somehow it wasn’t quite there. Check out the honey blackberry mint mocktail instead.
Omg. This packs a punch. V Energy drink + lemon juice + lime juice. Kapow!

15ml lemon juice
15ml lime juice

Squeeze a half lime and add 15ml to glass

This is not a relaxing drink. It’s a wake-me-up and fight-or-flight kind of drink. It redefines tart.
I tried different combinations of this, doubling the V to 60ml, leaving the lemon and lime the same. It’s less in-your-face, and probably the way to go, but is a little let down once you’ve tried the initial combination.
This would be “interesting” as the first lets-get-the-party-going drink on taco night, but you’d want to limit yourself to just one…
Mistress of Mocktails is all about having fun with non-alcoholic cocktails. Whether you're trying to quit alcohol, don't like the taste, trying to be healthier, or just feel like something fancy - hopefully there's a recipe for you :)
