What are easy mocktails for beginners?

The secret to making a delicious mocktail is practice. If you’re a beginner, you should choose refreshments for their flavour over their flair. 

VIRGIN MOSCOW MULE

The Moscow Mule is a classic refreshment bursting with subtle sweetness, spicy ginger, and zingy lime. 

INGREDIENTS

  • 200 ml Fentimans botanically brewed ginger beer 80 ml refreshing soda water 
  • 1 scoop of crushed ice
  • 2 whole limes 
  • 1 lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint to garnish 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To create your own delicious mocktail, scoop crushed ice into your chosen glass. If you’re looking to pay homage to the Moscow Mule’s heritage, use an artisan copper mug as your receptacle.
  2. Pour our fiery ginger beer on top of the ice.
  3. Cut 2 limes into four segments and squeeze the fresh juice into your mocktail glass.
  4. Top with a splash of bubbling soda water. 
  5. Remember to garnish with a sprig of mint and a wheel of lime. 

LEMON AND ROSEMARY “G&T”

It’s no secret that gin and tonic is a crowd-pleaser. Here are all the ingredients you’ll need to add a sophisticated twist to your mocktail. 

INGREDIENTS

  • 50 ml non-alcoholic gin
  • 200 ml Fentimans herbal infused Indian tonic water
  • 1 scoop of cubed ice
  • ¼ lemon 
  • 1 lemon wheel and 1 sprig of fresh rosemary to garnish 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Start by gently rubbing your sprig of rosemary around the inside and rim your glass. This will infuse your drink with the refreshing herb. We recommend choosing a decedent gin goblet, as the bulbous shape will enrich your sense of smell while drinking.
  2. Fill ¾ of your glass with cubed ice.
  3. Cut your ¼ of lemon into two segments and squeeze on top of the ice.
  4. Add your favourite non-alcoholic gin.
