Merry Christmas everyone! As a gift to all my readers, subscribers and visitors here – let me share with you a couple of non-alcoholic Christmas drink recipes which you can easily prepare this holiday season.
Of course, you can always buy sparking apple cider and other non-alcoholic ready-to-drink alternatives in the grocery but wouldn’t it be fun if you make one on your own?
Thus, now presenting…
Christmas Fruit Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 large banana
- 1 cup honeydew melon
- Mint leaves
- Crushed ice
- Sugar
Place all the fruits, mint leaves and ice in a blender and blend until smooth and frothy. Add sugar according to desired level of sweetness. Serves 2 people.
Virgin Mimosa Mocktail Recipe:
Ingredients:
- Sparkling cider
- Fresh orange juice
- Lemon juice
- Lemon zest
- Sugar
Mix equal parts of cider, orange juice and lemon juice in a pitcher. Chill the mixture.
Put sugar onto a saucer and press a champagne glass with a wet rim upside down to it. Pour the chilled virgin mimosa onto the glass, careful not to touch the sugar on the frosted rim.
Garnish with lemon zest and serve.
