Valentine’s Day Mocktail
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we’ve created a few delicious Valentine’s drinks that are ideal for enjoying on February 14th.
We are raising our glasses to Valentine’s Day with a delicious non-alcoholic drink that The Mrs. really loves.
What You Will Need To Make Our Valentine’s Day Mocktail
Orange Juice. When it comes to orange juice you can use fresh squeezed or your favorite store brought OJ. I prefer an organic orange just with a little pulp, but you do you!
Seedlip Grove 42 Non-Alcoholic Spirit. If you are looking for quality non-alcoholic spirits I highly recommend Seedlip spirits.
For this recipe, we used the Grove 42 which has a taste profile with citrus orange, lemongrass, lemon peel, and ginger with a dry finish.
Gourmet Raspberry Syrup. I love using raspberry syrup in this recipe, but your favorite red color syrup will do just fine. I have tried both strawberry and cherry gourmet syrup with delicious results.
Ice. When making a drink, using ice is a way of diffusing the ingredients and getting them to come together. Each individual ingredient gets suspended in the water and adds layers of flavor which builds the overall character of the mixed drink.
Rosemary. Here, a fresh sprig of rosemary gets muddled in the bottom of the shaking tin using a muddler. This process is a technique used to express the oils from the leaves of the rosemary—this adds a slight piney and woodsy elements which balance out the sweetness of the raspberry syrup.
Not a fan of rosemary, adding two or three fresh mint leaves, a sprig of thyme, tarragon, or marjoram are all great candidates.

Can this mocktail be made into a cocktail?
Yes, replace the non-alcohol spirit with an equal measure of vodka, white rum, or Blanco tequila and you are good to go!
