Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you enjoyed Mocktails Part 1. I would love to hear if you tried any of the drinks and how you liked them, or what you did to change them to your tastes. Today is the last of the mocktails. Starting next week I will be talking about smoothies and shakes (healthy!).
Cosmo-not
1 cup crushed ice
3 fluid oz. peach nectar
2 fluid oz. cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 oz. grenadine syrup (I used my homemade raspberry simple syrup)
1 fluid oz. lemon flavored soda
lime wedge or curl
Fill a shaker or lidded container with ice. Pour in peach nectar, cranberry juice and syrup. Strain into a glass and top with lemon soda (personally, this drink is too sweet for me and I like to top with sparkling water or leave out the syrup). Garnish with lime. Serves 1.
Raspberry-Lime Rickey
1 lime, quartered
8 oz. sparkling water
1.5 oz. raspberry simple syrup
Fill a glass with ice. Squeeze each of the lime wedges into the glass and drop in. Fill glass nearly to the top with sparkling water and top with raspberry syrup. Delicious and not too sweet. Serves 1.
Mock Champagne
4 cups sparkling water, chilled
4 cups ginger ale, chilled
3 cups white grape juice, unsweetened
Mix together and serve. Serves 10
Citrus Cooler
2 cups orange-pineapple juice
1 cup limeade
4 cups ginger ale, chilled
Orange or lemon slices for garnish
Combine juice, limeade and ginger ale in a large pitcher. Stir. Garnish with lemon or orange slices. Serves 6.
Exotic Fruit Drinks
1 cup each of assorted fruit juices, kept separate
Sparkling water
Ice cube trays in various shapes
Pour juice into ice cube trays and freeze. For the photo above, I used pomegranate juice. When completely frozen, place in a glass - all the same flavor ice cubes, or mixing different flavors. Pour sparkling water over all.
