What You Will Need To Make Our Valentine’s Day Mocktail
Orange Juice. When it comes to orange juice, you can use fresh squeezed or your favorite store-bought OJ. I prefer an organic orange just with a little pulp, but you do you!
Seedlip Grove 42 Non-Alcoholic Spirit. If you are looking for quality non-alcoholic spirits, I highly recommend Seedlip spirits.
For this recipe, we used the Grove 42, which has a taste profile with citrus orange, lemongrass, lemon peel, and ginger with a dry finish.
Gourmet Raspberry Syrup. I love using raspberry syrup in this recipe, but your favorite red color syrup will do just fine. I have tried both strawberry and cherry gourmet syrup with delicious results.
Ice. Ice is a way of diffusing the ingredients and getting them together when making a drink. Each individual ingredient gets suspended in the water and adds layers of flavor which builds the overall character of the mixed drink.
Rosemary. Here, a fresh sprig of rosemary gets muddled in the bottom of the shaking tin using a muddler. This process is a technique used to express the oils from the rosemary leaves—this adds slight piney and woodsy elements which balance out the sweetness of the raspberry syrup.
If you are not a fan of rosemary, adding two or three fresh mint leaves, a sprig of thyme, tarragon, or marjoram are all great candidates.
