When you think of zero-proof cocktails, also known as mocktails, you may think of syrupy sweet libations made from concentrated fruit joice and sodas. But that idea is so 2000-and-late. In fact, there’s a wide and exciting array of mocktail recipes that can be justg as sophisticated as something you’d see at one of the best (alcohol-serving) bars in America. Take, for instance, this simple yet aesthetically pleasing blackberry and lavender spritzer.
Embrace the beautiful warm weather with this summertime mocktail that gives off a botanical aroma and has a not-too-sweet yet fruity flavor.
First, start off by making lavender water. If you find this edible flower has a calming aroma, you will find its floral and lightly sweet flavor equally satisfying. Boil some dried lavender in water until the vibrant color has faded away. Let it cool down before straining the flower buds from the water.
