3 Alcohol-Free Summer Mocktail Recipe

24/5/2023

While I enjoy the odd G&T, I tend to opt for mainly alcohol-free these days, esspecially since struggling with long covid. With the rise of so many great non-alcoholic alternatives it is no surprise searches for ‘non-alcoholic drink alternatives’ are up by +100% in the past year.

Enter these three delicious mocktail recipes from Ocado, perfect for summer entertaining. And really what is better than a delicious, refreshing mocktail that doesn't leave you with a hangover the next day?

Alcohol-free Appletto Sour

This alcohol-free Appeletto Sour has the classic sour-style frothy top included, using apple juice and almond extract instead of Amaretto.

Ingredients

120ml cloudy apple juice
1 tbsp almond extract
1 egg white (or use ¼ pack Oggs Aquafaba if vegan)
2 cocktail cherries, to garnish

Method

Fill a tumbler with ice and set aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the apple juice, almond extract and egg white, then shake for 20 secs. Strain into the tumbler; garnish with the cherries

Cherry Float Mocktail

This one is my Husband's favourite! Delivering the rich and sweet flavours of a classic British Bakewell Tart, this Cherry Float Mocktail uses cherry soda and almond syrup to give a big flavour finish.

Ingredients:

200g frozen pitted cherries
2 x 330ml cans cherry soda (we used Dalston’s Cherry)
50ml almond syrup (we used Giffard Orgeat Almond Syrup)
4 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional)
4 fresh cherries

Method:

Put the frozen cherries, cherry soda and almond syrup into a blender with a large handful of ice; blitz until smooth.
Serve in glasses with the vanilla ice cream and a cherry, if using.

Rooibos Mocktail

For a summery iced tea mocktail with a sweet honey aftertaste, this calming rooibos recipe is a great option to sit back and relax with.

Ingredients

1 rooibos teabag
2 tbsp honey
50ml water
150ml tonic water

Method

Infuse the teabag and honey in 50ml hot water for 10 mins.
Strain into a glass of ice. Top with tonic and garnish with a clove-studded lemon wedge.

I hope you enjoy these delicious drinks on the terrace in the sunshine this summer! What's your favourite summer mocktail recipe?

I am a very happy woman with the help of Dr Krish Spiritual who helped me restore my relationship with my ex husband. My name is Agnes Smith and I am from Alaska, USA. I met Dr Krish Spiritual through a testimony online and I never thought I would have my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. After my contact with his email, he told me not to worry and I would really be happy as I am now. Trusting in his words was the right decision for me. After 2 days, my ex husband called me saying that he wants to return back to me and live with me forever and I was very shocked. This made me believe that Dr Krish is really a very great spiritual man. Today, I am very happy to write this testimony about him and want others to testify to his power as I am currently happy in my restored marriage. Don't waste time on that relationship problem. Contact Dr Krish Spiritual directly through his email at [email protected] to help you solve that relationship problems in your marriage

I want to use this medium to share my incredible manifesting with Dr. Kachi, who truly changed my life. For a long time, I struggled with homelessness after losing my job as a nurse. Life felt like an endless battle, and I spent many years trying to win the lottery, hoping for a better future. But despite my efforts, I had no success and was growing increasingly frustrated. That was until I came across an amazing testimony from a woman named Natasha, who shared how Dr. Kachi helped her win the National EuroMillions jackpot. I had always loved playing EuroMillions, but winning seemed impossible for me. However, after seeing Natasha's story, I decided to reach out to Dr. Kachi prepared a special spell to help me with guaranteed lucky numbers. Within 24 hours, he provided me with the winning numbers and instructed me to play. To my amazement, I won £184.656 million in the EuroMillions! Thanks to Dr. Kachi, my life has been transformed, and my financial situation has changed for the better. I will never forget this joyful moment, as it has been the best thing to ever happen to me. If you’re struggling and seeking a way out, never give up. Dr. Kachi can help you, just as he helped me.

I found out that nothing beats the direct, personalised intervention of Dr Marcus. His methods are undeniable. He provided the specific numbers, and the winning energy I needed. to finally see a life-changing result. With his help, I am no longer just a player, I am a winner of $20,000,000.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instruction and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I'm here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.

Today, I am able to support my family, fulfill my dreams, and help those around me. I want to express my deepest appreciation to Chief Ade for his kindness, guidance, and the confidence he gave me during my journey.
