Mocktail Recipes

To many of us, summer means BBQs. And BBQs mean great food, great conversations, and great drinks. So today, I thought I would share some mocktail recipes because a great night with friends shouldn’t come with regret the next morning.

Enjoy!

Watermelon Basil Cooler:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup diced watermelon
• 4-5 fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon honey (or simple syrup, or I prefer coconut nectar)
• 1/2 cup sparkling water
• Ice**

Instructions:

1. In a blender, combine the diced watermelon, basil leaves, juice of half a lime, and honey (or simple syrup/coconut nectar). Blend until smooth.
2. Strain the mixture into a glass to remove any pulp or seeds.
3. Add sparkling water to the strained watermelon mixture and stir gently.
4. Fill another glass with ice cubes and pour the mocktail over the ice.
5. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or a watermelon slice if desired.
6. Stir gently before serving.

Virgin Mojito Mocktail

Ingredients:

• 10 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 lime, cut into wedges
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (I use Monk Fruit or Xylitol – no calories and tastes just like sugar)
• 1/2 cup club soda
• Crushed ice**

Instructions:

1. In a glass, muddle the mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar (or Monk Fruit) until the lime releases its juice and the mint becomes fragrant.
2. Fill the glass with crushed ice.
3. Pour in the club soda and stir gently.
4. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

**I prefer to use ice cubes made with filtered and ‘ringed’ water. I love the structure our Light-Life Tensor Rings give the water.
