This mocktail is perfect for those warm afternoons when you want something fresh, zesty and bubbly without the booze. Whether you're part of the sober curious movement or just love trying fresh new non-alcoholic drinks, this one's for you.
Why Mocktails?
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s chat a bit about why mocktails are stealing the spotlight these days. Mocktails are more than just alcohol-free alternatives; they're a fun, flavorful way to enjoy a drink without the after effects of alcohol. A few years ago, there weren’t a lot of great mocktail options, but now the world is your oyster - ingredients like non-alcoholic wine are more accessible than ever before. Including St. Regis Dealcoholized Shiraz Rosé wine in this recipe is a good example of using what you can find at the grocery store to create something elevated, fresh and delicious! Plus - almost anyone can enjoy a mocktail with no limitations since there is no alcohol in them.
