Are you one of the increasing number of people participating in Dry January? This practice of going alcohol-free – or “dry” – for the entire month of January has gained in popularity over the last few years. So, too, has the search for easy mocktail recipes.
For those folks who are getting on the Dry January wagon, or for those who prefer mocktails to cocktails in general, we’ve put together a list of mocktail drinks incorporating that most wonderful ingredient of all: tea!
Simple Syrup Ingredients:
- ¼ C water
- ¼ C granulated sugar
Main Ingredients:
- 12 oz. (1.5 C) brewed Peach Fruit Tea (2 tsp. loose)
- 1 ½ tbsp. simple syrup
- 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 oz. (¼ C) tonic water
- Ice
Instructions
- To make the simple syrup, heat the water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, but do not bring it to a boil. Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before using or storing. Carefully transfer the simple syrup into a glass jar, use a funnel if needed. This will make a lot of syrup, so you will have extra to use for other drink recipes or a larger batch of this!
- Brew the loose Peach Tea in an infuser in 12 oz. (1.5 C) of fresh water. Remove the tea and let cool.
- Combine the cold tea, simple syrup, lemon juice, and tonic water in a jar or cocktail shaker and shake/mix until thoroughly combined. Pour over ice into two glasses and serve!
- Garnish with a rosemary sprig or lemon slice if desired.
