Ingredients For Our Alcohol Free Cosmopolitan
The quality of ingredients is key to the success of any cocktail or mocktail. Here’s a closer look at what makes the Cos-NO-politan Spritz so special:
Fresh Lime Juice
Freshly lime juice is the backbone of many classic cocktails, and here is no different. It adds the essential acidity to balance the sweetness of the fruit juices. Its bright citrus tang ensures the drink feels zesty and lively.
Fresh Orange Juice
Orange juice lends a natural sweetness and subtle depth to the mocktail. Use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavour—its vibrant, slightly pulpy texture adds authenticity and richness.
Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice contributes a tart, fruity flavor and the drink’s signature ruby-red hue. Opt for a 100% cranberry juice variety with no added sugars to keep the flavor sharp and authentic.
Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger Tonic
This premium mixer elevates the alcohol free cosmopolitan to a new level of sophistication. The crisp cranberry notes and the warm spice of ginger offer a sparkling finish, enhancing both flavour and texture.
Garnishes
A slice of orange and a sliver of fresh ginger are more than decorative touches—they reinforce the drink's vibrant flavour profile. The orange slice adds a pop of colour, while the ginger’s aroma enhances the tonic’s spicy notes.
Serving Suggestions
To make the most of the Cos-NO-politan Spritz, presentation is key. Serve it in a chilled cocktail glass for an elegant touch, and ensure your garnishes are fresh and vibrant. A spritz feels special, so don’t hesitate to dress it up!
If you're hosting a party, consider pre-preparing the juice mixture in a pitcher. Then you can top individual servings with the tonic for ease and efficiency.
Pro Tips
Chill Everything:
A well-chilled drink is more refreshing. Refrigerate your juices, tonic, and even your glassware before assembling the mocktail.
Fresh is Best:
Always use freshly squeezed lime and orange juice. The difference in flavor is noticeable and elevates the drink significantly.
Customisable Sweetness:
For a sweeter version, consider adding a dash of simple syrup. Alternatively swap the cranberry juice for a cranberry-apple blend.
Ginger Boost:
For those who love a stronger ginger flavour, muddle a small piece of fresh ginger in the shaker before adding the juices.
