High ‘n’ Dry Mocktail

A sophisticated mocktail that won’t make you feel like you are missing out. It’s perfect for Dry January, for guests who don’t drink alcohol, or just for when you’re feeling like something fancy and low abv (or no abv in this case!)

The Mocktail

Mocktails often get a bad rap as, in a pub or bar, they often just amount to an overpriced glass of juice! If you’re hosting a party or get together, don’t leave your guests who aren’t drinking with the boring choice of water or soda – make them a real mocktail that has all the balance and taste of a cocktail, just minus the alcohol. They’ll love you for it! It’s also a great choice for those of you who are doing Dry January, Sober October, or just trying to cut down – you won’t feel like you’re missing out with the lack of booze!

I’m not a tea drinker, I just don’t like it – I know, I’m a terrible brit! Iced tea is a different story though, I believe the fact that it’s cold helps reduce some of the tannin which, in turn, makes it less bitter. This is my first time making my own iced tea and I’m definitely going to start making it more often, it’s so much better than the bottled stuff and you don’t get a lot of iced tea in restaurants here. Making it yourself is great because it means you control how sweet it is and you can get creative with flavours! Plus, it’s so easy to make, what’s not to love!
