What You Will Need To Make Our Valentine’s Day Mocktail
Orange Juice. When it comes to orange juice, you can use freshly squeezed or your favorite store-bought OJ. I prefer an organic orange just with a bit of 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 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 used to express the oils from the rosemary leaves—this adds slight piney and woodsy elements that 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.
