I cannot believe that we are at the end of January 2016 already and before you know it, summer will be over and autumn will be setting in.
Before the hot sultry weather disappears completely, you have to give these non alcoholic mocktails a try!
I don’t usually like to experiment much with drinks and juices, as I am a true water and rooibos tea lover. But there was an occasion in the family, and mocktails go perfectly with a barbecue. I must admit that I quite enjoyed them myself as well.
I am sharing 2 mocktails with you below, and they are both refreshing and delicious. I like that they are both light and use fresh seasonal fruits, spices and herbs. Perfect for this hot summer!
