The perfect Christmas Mocktail
09 Dec 2022
Making your own mocktails is a creative and fun activity to do in the kitchen that caters for all your family, friends and guests, offering a non-alcoholic alternative for those who may not want to drink or would like to cut down their alcohol consumption.
When creating your own mocktails, be cautious of mixers—like soft drink and orange juice—as they can be high in sugar and calories. Mixers like soda water and freshly squeezed lime juice are naturally lower in sugar, plus they add a nice fizz and zest to your palate.
