Dry January is upon us, and if you’re in the mood to explore some delicious non-alcoholic beverages, mocktails are a good place to start. They experienced a true boom in recent years, and our brief guide will help you take yours to new heights. Here are five useful tips that can help you level up your mocktails.
Fresh Ingredients
Your mocktail will be extra delicious if you’re using the freshest ingredients possible you can find. Citrusy fruits, such as lemons, orange, and grapefruit, are among the most popular options, but you can also add some berries and herbs to the mix.
Perfect Base
When choosing a base for your mocktail, let your favorite flavors guide the way. Fruit juice, ginger ale, and soda are some of the most popular options, but you can also experiment with non-alcoholic beers.
Non-Alcoholic Spirits
Non-alcoholic spirits can also help you take your mocktails to new heights. They have been gaining traction in recent years, and a single drop can add a burst of flavor to your drink.
Right Sweetener
You should stick to natural sweeteners when experimenting with mocktail flavors. Agave and maple syrup are always a good idea, but you also can’t go wrong with honey.
Picture-Perfect Garnish
Give some thought to the presentation when making your mocktails, and don’t forget to add some garnish to the mix. Citrus slices, pineapple wedges, cherries, mint leaves, and ice cubes can help you make your mocktail picture-perfect and delicious at the same time.
