Dry January might have come and gone and while you certainly don’t have to stay sober all year round (gasp!), sometimes it’s nice to go booze-free for a while. Mocktails are growing in popularity and no, they’re not just for kids or pregnant ladies. The mocktails we’re seeing now are expertly crafted and truly delicious and it leaves us honestly not missing the alcohol. This mocktail recipe from CEDER’S uses both jasmine and earl grey tea to give a unique flavour profile that’s unlike any cocktail or mocktail you’ve had before. Once you whip it up and go in for a sip, you’ll be amazed that you made this mocktail recipe yourself and not a fancy mixologist at a trendy bar!
