Our drink of the season is this lime & coconut<br />
flavoured syrup, mixed with sparkling water or soda<br />
(or still water, if you’re not into fizz). Pretty up with<br />
mint, shavings of coconut, loads of lime and ice and<br />
sip away all day. R73.49 from Woolies.<br />
Have you<br />
tried Schweppes<br />
Mojito? You’ll find this<br />
mint and lime drink in cans<br />
at your local supermarket and<br />
it’s a delicious way to enjoy<br />
an alcohol-free version of the<br />
classic Cuban cocktail. Add<br />
fresh mint and a wedge of<br />
lime to dicky it up.<br />
Move over G&T, it’s time for a spritzer. The new<br />
Duchess Spritz doesn’t need much doing to it ... just<br />
pour into an ice-filled wine glass and you’re good to<br />
party. There are two flavours of this de-alcoholised<br />
wine spritzer ... Elderflower White (crisp, sparkling<br />
and refreshing, with a definite wine ‘tang’) and Berry<br />
Rose (pink, sweeter … add a strawberry to the glass<br />
for a pretty touch). Both at local supermarkets like Spar,<br />
or online from yuppiechef.com for around R79 for a<br />
case of four. • We’re massive fans of the Monin range<br />
of syrups ... which add all sorts of exciting options to<br />
our mocktails. Our latest craze is the Mojito – born in<br />
the sultry bars of Havana, it’s a sexy drink made with a<br />
simple syrup muddled with lime and mint leaves and<br />
local rum. For our non-hangover version, we take the<br />
easy way out and use this delicious Monin Mojito/<br />
Wild Mint Syrup (available in one litre bottles, so we<br />
never run out) added to soda or club soda with a good<br />
squeeze of lime. <strong>Dec</strong>orate with fresh mint leaves from<br />
the garden and it’s all hola-Havana-nights. R180 from<br />
onlinebeveragestore.co.za • Fluére is the latest nonalcoholic<br />
spirit to arrive on the shelves. Three options ...<br />
Original (a floral blend of botanicals), Amber (a spiced<br />
cane dark roast – think dark roasted coffee, cocoa,<br />
liquorice, tonka beans and toffee), and Pink (all fresh<br />
raspberries in flavour). Serve with tonic water, ice and<br />
garnished with a few sprigs of lavender and juniper<br />
berries. Around R299 from local bottle stores.<br />
