I was sitting enjoying a salad and a sandwich up in my veggie patch on a hot sweltering summer morning last week when I saw her appear with this beautiful cold drink.
About the recipe
This ginger orange mocktail was created by my daughter Anjali for a brunch time treat on my birthday last week. The mocktail was refreshing, fizzy and tangy. I tell you folks, to sip a cold drink on a hot balmy morning, that mocktail tasted like ambrosia!!
Just three ingredients for a delicious mocktail
With just three ingredients and ice this mocktail is sophisticated enough to make one think that it came from a bartender’s recipe. The best part is how simple it is make.
For the mocktail to taste outstanding you really want top of the line ingredients such as fresh squeezed orange juice and really good strong fizzy ginger beer – though the name has beer in it, it really is non- alcoholic. We like Fevertree ginger beer for its strong ginger flavor with bits of fresh ginger.
