Cranberry Apple Spritz
Ingredients
1 part cranberry juice
1 part apple juice or apple cider
1 part soda water, club soda, or sprite
optional: cranberries (or sugared cranberries), apple slices (I recommend brushing with lemon juice or using the method here to prevent browning)
Method
- Add all ingredients into a glass, or multiply by number of guests and add into a punch bowl, and serve!
Kombucha Mocktail
*If you are pregnant, kombucha may not be for you as it is a fermented product. Please talk to your doctor to discuss whether kombucha is safe for you to consume during your pregnancy.*
Ingredients
1 grape fruit, take a slice for decorating, then juice (or use 1/2 cup grapefruit juice)
1 cup ginger kombucha (or preferred flavour)
fresh sprig of thyme or rosemary
Method
- Rub the sprig of fresh herb around the edge of your glass, then set aside.
- Add grapefruit juice, then top up your glass with kombucha.
- Garnish with your grapefruit slice and sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme and serve!
Mulled Grape Juice
Ingredients
2 cups red grape juice
1/2 orange, sliced into circles, half circles, or triangles
1 tsp pure maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick
optional: 2 star anise, 2 whole all-spice, small handful cranberries, 4 whole cloves, 4 black peppercorns
Method
- Add all ingredients into a slow cooker or pot. Bring almost to a boil, and then turn to low to simmer for 10 minutes to infuse (you do not need to worry if it comes to a boil like traditional mulled wine, as there is no alcohol to potentially burn off).
- Use a ladle to serve into mugs, being sure to get a slice of orange!
Nojito
Ingredients
5-8 fresh mint leaves (depending on size)
1 tsp raw cane sugar or agave nectar
1/2 lime, juiced (optional: slice for garnishing the rim)
ice
soda water (you can use plain or flavoured!)
Method
- Add mint, sugar and lime juice into a tall glass. Muddle lightly, ensuring to release the mint flavour without breaking it up into pieces (that would not make for a great drinking experience).
- Add ice to fill the glass, then top up with soda water. Stir/swizzle to combine.
- Option to add a slice of lime to the rim, and serve!
