Mocktails are a delicious way to cool down in the summer and a welcome addition to any party. Full of flavor, but without the alcohol, they’re great for guests that don’t drink and provide a refreshing interlude for any occasion.
Sparkling Magic Apple
The ingredients are simple. You’ll need 2 oz. of a whiskey alternative, 2 oz. of apple cider or apple juice, 2 dashes of bitters, a cinnamon stick and an apple slice. Combine the first three ingredients in a tall glass with ice and stir until cold. Pour the mixture over fresh ice and garnish with the cinnamon stick and apple for a tasty treat.Ginger Shirley Temple
For a fresh take on an old favorite, try this. Take 4 cups of lemon-lime ginger beer, 1 cup of club soda, 3 tablespoons of lime juice and .25 cup grenadine. Stir together the ginger beer, lime juice, club soda and grenadine in a pitcher. You can garnish with maraschino cherries or lime rounds for an attractive thirst-quencher.Blueberry Cooler
This takes full advantage of fresh blueberries with their antioxidant qualities. It will require a little extra work on your part, but the results are well worth the time. You’ll need 1 cup of blueberries, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1 lemon – juiced. Place the sugar, water and blueberries in a large saucepan and bring them to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 15 minutes to create your blueberry syrup. Strain out the solids using a fine strainer or sieve. Fill a glass to the top with crushed ice. Pour 1 ounce of the blueberry syrup in the glass, then 1 ounce of lemon juice in the glass. Be careful not to mix the two ingredients so you get a layered look. Fill the glass slowly with water to the top. Even if you mix the two, it will still be a delicious beverage.For More Information on our rental equipment or to reserve your bounce house or waterslide rental today, visit our website at https://www.southfloridabounce.com/
