Drink me! [virgin drinks]


We heart it

I was asked by a lovely reader about mocktail drinks. Since one of my itc goals is to drink less, mocktails/virgin drinks seem to be the best way to go.
If you're out with friends you could still have a drink & have fun without alcohol. My favorite virgin drinks are mudslides & strawberry daiquiris they taste amazing. :)

I found some fun sites with nice recipes.
Here are some I'd like to try this weekend:

The Caribbean Cocktail sounds yumm & if you've ever wanted your own Mr Darcy you canclick here for both drink recipes & many more.

& lastly the Citrus Blast. This Site is fillled with yummy drinks from hot cocoa to fruit goodness.

A nice trick for when you want to serve non alcoholic fruit drinks is to mix ginger ale in with the punch of choice, add ice & serve cold. I've actually had some friends ask what type of drink I used & when they found out it wasn't alcohol they were surprised. :)

Have a lot of fun with it! Serve it in a sugar rimmed glass for a martini look.
To coat the rim with sugar:
Wet the rim of the glass
Place the glass [upside down :)] into sugar on a saucer
Make sure its covered nicely
then flip back over & fill with your drink.
[[You may also do this with cinnamon, salt, or even finely crushed peppermint.]]

Enjoy these drinks that are tasty & sweet, still hit the spot though their alcoholic free. & Feel free to share any sites, recipes you may have & recommend everyone to try.

Have a great weekend & enjoy bunnies!

xoxo
