Often times at intimate parties, it becomes a challenge to cater to a crowd that doesn’t drink alcohol. Most times, they’re asked to settle for pre-packaged drinks or sodas that don’t really excite them or have them look forward to mingling with a crowd that enjoys a cocktail. Whether it is a teetotaller or a group of children, they are left to their devices to figure out what to sip on and become the odd ones out in a crowd. For them, shaking up a mocktail or two would not only feel special but also make them feel like they’re a part of the party with more enthusiasm.
This fruity and fizzy cranberry spritzer mocktail is pretty to look at, refreshing and holds the flavour of warm spices, which make it a multi-dimensional beverage. It’s easy to shake up, make in large batches and you can even add a splash of vodka or tequila to it, if you’re in the mood to have some fun. The few ingredients that it needs can be easily bought off of supermarket shelves and thrown together at moments notice. The mocktail is also a perfect accompaniment for a formal sit-down dinner that is quieter and includes only your closest ones.
