Mocktail O'clock

With the weather warming up, now is the perfect time for a Spring cocktail. If you don't drink alcohol or are planning to make an amazing fresh drink for the family, you can still enjoy the sweet pleasures of a cocktail by making a mocktail. You can make a range of delicious drinks using combinations of sparkling water, soda, fresh juices and fresh fruit or herbs.

One of my favourite mocktails is a Ginger and Blueberry Mojito in which my wonderful friend gave me the recipe for (thanks Gem)

Recipe

Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Chopped Mint

Grated Ginger (skin off)

Water

Combine a small amount of water and sugar together in a small pot and boil until the sugar is dissolved.

Place the sugar water in the fridge to cool.

In a jug, place the soda water, ginger, blueberries and mint. Swirl to combine.

Serve in a glass filled with crushed ice.

Enjoy!
