Dry January 'mocktail' ideas...
So, we are already half way through January, can you believe it?! And here at Crabb & Fox Mobile Bar Hire Norfolk, we understand that many of you want to kick off your new year with a healthy start. For lots of you, that means 'Dry January'! A whole month with no booze! This could be tricky for some people, so here are 3 non-alcoholic, fruity alternatives that you could have instead and make for yourself at home to avoid having your usual tipple.
1. Pomegranate Mojito Mocktail.
Ingredients...
- 3 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- 2 limes, quartered, plus slices to garnish
- 1 big bunch of mint
- 1l pomegranate juice
- 500ml lemonade
Method...
A day ahead, divide the pomegranate seeds between the holes in an ice cube tray, top up with water and freeze.Reserve half the mint for serving, and tear the rest into a large jug with the lime quarters. Using a rolling pin, bash the mint and lime to release the flavours. Add the pomegranate juice and lemonade. Put ice cubes in each glass, then strain over the pomegranate mix through a small sieve. Garnish with lime slices and more mint.
2. Apple, Elderflower & mint sparkle.
Ingredients...
- 75ml elderflower cordial

- Small handful of mint leaves, roughly chopped

For a grown-up non-alcoholic drink, mix elderflower cordial with cloudy apple juice. Add a small handful mint leaves, stir well, then pour into a chilled flask. Pour half glasses of the juice and top up with sparkling water.
3. Frozen spicy pineapple & coconut virgin daiquiri.
