What Is Mocktail?
Mocktail: A drink built like a cocktail, with balanced sweet, sour and aromatic elements, but with no alcohol.
In the kitchen
A good mocktail is not just juice. It balances sweet, sour and bitter, with fizz or herbs for interest. Lemon and lime juice supply the sour, syrup supplies the sweet, and soda water makes it sparkle.
Muddled mint, ginger, cucumber and citrus peel add the complexity that alcohol would otherwise bring. Serve it over plenty of ice in a proper glass, with a garnish, and it feels like a real drink.
