On Mocktail menu we have;
Cuddles On the Beach
Blackberry and Ginger Fizz
Raspberry and Mint Sparkle
Caramel Espresso
These mocktails are so simple to make and are suitable for anyone who fancies a little something extra special to drink without the alcohol. They are also suitable for children, they do contain pure fruit juice so they are still quite high in sugar, however I’ve opted for sparkling water where I can and sugar free grenadine.
Cuddles On the Beach
Mint
Grenadine zero sugar
Slice of lemon
Orange juice
Cranberry juice
Guava juice (all equal parts so the amount will depend on how big your glasses are)
Pink lemonade
Blueberries to garnish
Crushed ice.
Crush a few sprigs of mint and add to a cocktail glass.
In a separate glass add some mint leaves, a thick slice of lemon and a splash of grenadine (I used zero sugar)
Add the juice to the glass
Add the grenadine and lemon mixture
Top with some pink lemonade and a large handful of crushed ice
Add some blueberries to garnish.
Blackberry and Ginger Fizz
6 blackberries
1 teaspoon of sugar
Few sprigs of rosemary
Thick slice of lemon
Ginger beer
Crushed ice
Prepare the flavouring by combining the blackberries, sugar, lemon and a spring of rosemary (bruise the rosemary before to release the flavour) mash everything up
Strain the blackberry mixture into a cocktail glass
Top with ginger beer
Add a spring of rosemary and 3 blackberries to garnish
Raspberry and Mint Sparkle
Splash of grenadine
Thick slice of lemon
Few mint sprigs
Pink lemonade (I use a sparkling water based pink lemonade)
Raspberries to garnish
Add the mint and grenadine to a glass
Squeeze in the lemon
Top with pink lemonade
Garnish with raspberries
Caramel Espresso
2 parts/ double espresso (I used decaf)
1 part cold water
Sweetener/caramel syrup of choice- you choose how sweet you’d like it (I used agave nectar as it give a nice caramel taste)
3 coffee beans to garnish
Prepare your double espresso. If you don’t have a coffee maker then make an espresso using instant or another way you choose to make espresso.
Add a teaspoon of sweetener (or more to suit your taste)
Pop the espresso, water and a handful of ice into a cocktail shaker and give a really good shake.
Gently pour into a cocktail glass, you should have a nice thick topping of creme from the coffee
Add the coffee beans for presentation.
If you do make this then I hope you love it
