Spring Mocktails
Personally, I love mocktails. They quench my thirst, don’t get me drunk and I love trying different combinations. They also look great and I can pretend that they’re one of my five daily portions of fruit and veg. So, if you’re like me and don’t mind giving alcohol a miss, here are some mocktails for you to consider
Apple Virgin Mojito
Could anything be more classic than a mojito? And apple will compliment the tart lemon and lime flavours giving you a refreshing lift in the middle of the day.
Mint leaves
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Freshly squeezed lime juice
Simple syrup
Apple juice
Soda Water
Ginger Pear Mocktail
Pear and ginger are a great combination and this drink is served with a pear drop sweet.
Honey
Sprigs of rosemary
Freshly grated ginger
Fresh lemon juice
Pear juice
Ginger beer to top up
1 pear drop sweet to serve
Mockmosa
You know this drink, sparkling wine, and orange juice. Well this mocktail substitutes the sparkling wine for sparkling grape juice. It looks the same and tastes fantastic.
Sparkling grape juice
Orange juice
Hurricane Mocktail
The Hurricane is a popular cocktail and here is the non-alcoholic version for anyone after something fruity.
Orange juice
Grapefruit juice
A mixed tropical blend
Amaretto syrup
Bella Bellini
Or how about a Bellini? Another popular choice that can be adapted so it’s suitable for anyone refraining from alcohol.
Peach syrup
Mineral water
Lemon juice
Sparkling white grape juice
Raspberry Mojito
I couldn’t finish without giving you a raspberry mocktail, it is my favourite fruit after all! And it’s another mojito because they’re so fresh and revitalising, and lime goes with most other fruits.
Raspberries
Mint leaves
Simple Syrup
Raspberry juice
Lime juice
Sparkling mineral water
Whether you’re abstaining from alcohol or just fancy something refreshing between alcoholic drinks, you’ll be spoilt for choice. And our Lakeside Wing has that perfect mocktail/cocktail feel, modern with fantastic views over the lake.
