REFRESHING SUMMER DRINKS – THE SEASON FOR MOCKTAILS
No Alcohol Required
Summer’s the season for parties and gatherings, but they don’t always require alcohol. Consumers are looking for fun, refreshing summer drink alternatives that keep them sharp, healthy and cool. Here are some great summer mocktails that customers will love:
• Non-alcoholic Sangria — use white grape juice and blend it with blueberries, add your choice of fresh fruit slices and other juices to create your signature drink
• Pineapple Colada — Just pineapple juice, cream of coconut and ice (be sure it’s cream of coconut and not coconut cream – they’re too different things)
• Ginger Green Tea-ni — Green tea, ginger syrup and crushed ice
• Pink Grapefruit Margarita — Grapefruit juice, lime juice, ice and lemon syrup
• Thai Basil No-jito — Thai basil leaves, fresh mint, sugar, crushed ice, 1⁄4 lime, carbonated water; lemongrass stalk for garnish • Create your own, using fresh fruit, juices, sparkling water and herbs and spices.
