Mocktail Hour!
Dry July is almost upon us, and this year, the campaign will raise vital funds for Australians affected by cancer. By taking a break from the booze, you’ll help provide invaluable services, such as cancer care nurse support, new wigs, transport, accommodation close to the hospital and many more. It can be tricky to find alcohol alternatives that both healthy and delicious though, so we’ve called on mixologist, Nat Battagalia, from Mindful Mocktails, to share her favourite mocktail recipes, guaranteed to deliver on flavour and fun, and are quick and easy to make at any time of the day!
Cherry Burst Ingredients 5 cherries roughly chopped 1 lime, quartered 6-8 mint leaves 1 cup soda water Sweetener of your choice to taste, optional (see notes)
Method Place chopped cherries and lime in a glass. Add a little sweetener if using. Muddle together for about 1 minute. If you don’t have a muddler, use the back end of a wooden spoon. The idea is to get it small enough to fit though a straw. Clap mint together in your hands a few times to release the scent and add to the glass. Give the mint a gentle press with the muddler. Add ice and top with soda water. Garnish with lime wheels, mint and/or extra cherries.
