Dry January Mocktail ideas

We’re always experimenting with new flavour combinations and get super excited when we discover a new delicious mocktail. Dry January is the perfect time to try something new and you never know, you may even discover your new ‘usual’.

There are plenty to choose from, but here are a few we’re sure you’ll love…

Virgin Mojito with a twist 

 We’ve put our own spin on this popular, minty-fresh cocktail. Our mocktail recipe replaces the classic flavours of lime with zesty lemon, all thanks to our delicious Lemon and Mint Cordial.

You will need:

• Frobishers Lemon & Mint Cordial 
• Ice cubes
• Mint leaves
• Fresh lemons or limes
• Soda water
• Brown sugar

Method:

• Crush up your sugar and mint leaves to enhance the flavours
• Add your fresh lemon or lime juice and a dash of cordial
• Fill the glass with ice and pour soda water to the brim

Warming Ginger Spritz

There’s nothing like the taste of ginger to warm you up on a wintery evening. This super easy-to-make drink is one of our favourites and makes the perfect tipple to toast any occasion. 

You will need:

• Frobishers Ginger & Juniper Sparkler
• Frobishers Cranberry Juice
• Ice cubes
• Mint leaves

Method: 

• Add your ice to your favourite tall glass

Alcohol-free Pornstar Martini

This fruity tipple is a firm favourite of ours! The hints of passionfruit really are a winner in our eyes.

You will need:

• Frobishers Passionfruit & Orange Fusion
• Frobishers Sicilian Lemonade Sparkler

Stay warm with our hot cordials

We select the best fruit and mix it with aromatic botanicals to create unique flavoured cordials that taste great all year round. Our cordial range is extremely versatile and during the colder months, we love to enjoy them hot.

Simply add a dash to a mug of hot water, sit back, relax and sip! All 3 flavours are incredible winter warmers, but our favourite has to be Sloe and Raspberry - the notes of aromatic berry are extremely comforting!

This beverage is a fantastic alternative to an alcoholic mulled wine or cider.
