A nice nonalcoholic drink can make a party a lot more pleasant if you're abstaining from alcohol. Here are three recipes to get you started — and learn the basics of what makes a good mixed drink 🍹
Sparkling water
*Botanical water: You can make a substitute for botanical water at home. Simply infuse filtered water with citrus, fresh herbs and botanicals in your fridge for at least eight hours, and then strain the solids out. This adds depth and complexity to any beverage. In a shaker over ice, combine botanical water, lemon juice, simple syrup and salt. Shake until cold. Strain into a Collins glass over ice. Top with sparkling water.
If you want to finish off your drink with a garnish, thinly slice the fruit of your choice — pear and pineapple work well — brush the sliced fruit with simple syrup and bake on the lowest setting for 2-3 hours.
