Feeling the heat? Try these marvellous mocktails
The weather is hot news this week! With sunny skies and soaring temperatures across the UK, we thought we’d focus on keeping cool in this blog post. It’s more important than ever to keep hydrated in hot weather – experts recommend drinking at least 2 litres of fluid a day – so we’re looking at some delicious ways to get your daily intake!
Marvellous mocktails
Being alcohol-free, mocktails are perfect for children and adults alike. With Creamline’s range of glass bottled juices, it couldn’t be easier to whip up some cooling beverages and get one of your five a day. Our glass bottles are reused up to 40 times, so you’ll be reducing your plastic usage too!
Here are our top recipes:
· Good Morning Sunburst – all you need is half a cup of orange juice, 200ml of sparkling water, a splash of grenadine and vanilla syrup, and a sprig of rosemary! Freezing the orange juice makes the mocktail extra-refreshing.
· Elderflower and Apple Mocktail – 50ml of apple juice, 20ml of elderflower cordial, 2 lime wedges and 5 mint leaves make this tasty treat! Fill a glass with ice, add the juice and the cordial. Squeeze in the lime wedges and add a couple of leaves, stir then remove, and garnish with the remaining mint leaves!
· Grapefruit Mojito Mocktail – perfect for those who don’t have a huge sweet tooth! You’ll need 200ml of grapefruit juice, honey, mint and pink apples. Peel and remove the pith and seeds from the grapefruit, then chop. Squash half the grapefruit, mint and honey, add ice cubes and shake! Then add the remaining ingredients, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
