I’m not one for alcohol, but I do love the idea of combining some of my favorite fresh flavors to create unique and beautiful drinks. Perfect for dinner parties brimming with fresh blooms and bruschetta, afternoons spent in the sun, or picnics by the shore, these mocktails are the perfect way to add a touch of sophistication to your next soiree or solo outing.
But whether it’s mocktails, cocktails, iced water or an iced latte, the perfect drink starts with the perfect ingredients and the perfect tools. For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing around with some recipes using my latest bar cart addition: this copper barware set from Taste Drink Go. It’s a beautiful shade of copper – somewhere between bronze and rose gold – that gets the job done without any mishaps or mistakes.
I ended up making three different drinks on a particularly lovely Saturday afternoon. The first was a Grapefruit Rosemary Mocktail. A tart, refreshing drink with a lovely pink hue.
Ingredients Needed:
- grapefruit juice
- rosemary stems
- sugar
- sparkling water
My second drink attempt consisted of blueberries, fresh mint leaves, lemonade and sparkling water. I think this one was my favorite out of the three, but I’m biased because any iced drink with lemonade in it is my favorite.
Ingredients Needed:
- blueberries
- water
- sugar
- lemonade
- mint leaves
- sparkling water
The third drink was a raspberry mint mojito – hold the alcohol – with sparkling water and lime juice. Refreshing and delicious and just the thing for a late spring picnic.
Ingredients Needed:
- fresh raspberries
- mint leaves
- simple syrup
- lime juice
- sparkling water
- ice
The thing I love about all of these recipes are the interchangeable ingredients and tools needed to make them!
