In this cocktail section we will talk to you about the preparation of some non-
alcoholic cocktails , so that your knowledge as a mixologist increases.
It is necessary that a professional bartender and a mixologist also know how to
prepare non-alcoholic drinks because many people do not drink or are
designated drivers and although they do not drink alcohol, they do look for and
want to have a cocktail.
Non-alcoholic cocktails
For that reason we want to present you a series of cocktails that you can
prepare with the basic ingredients of traditional cocktails but without including
a drop of alcohol.
Likewise, if you like to prepare different drinks for your guests at your parties, it
is essential that in this hot season you also offer drinks to refresh them. Here
are some cocktails:
Shirley Temple
Her name says it all, she is the same as the little actress who played Anita the
orphan. This cocktail was originally served for children who accompanied adults
in a family bar; currently there are different varieties that include alcohol.
Ingredients:
Ginger ale / lemon soda
Orange juice
Grenadine
Preparation:
Place the ginger ale, grenadine and ice in a mixer and shake briefly. You
should only add a little grenadine, since it should only give a pink color to the
ginger ale, which is the main ingredient. You can also add lemon or orange peel
when mixing.
The Shirley Temper is served in a tall glass, (check our Cocktail Glassware
article) it can be frosted with sugar and garnished with a cherry or a paper
umbrella.
Blueberry Lemonade
This lemonade includes common ingredients that are included in the wide
variety of cocktails that bartenders can prepare. It is a refreshing drink that
combines the flavor of lemon with that of blueberries, ginger and mint.
