The Garden Sour, a non-alcoholic cocktail with Seedlip

If you’re making up for Christmas indulgence or on a strict regime this month, abstinence needn’t mean a glass half-empty. We’ve put together three delicious cocktails that just happen to have either no, or next-to-no, alcohol in them

Garden Sour

A delicious sour-style mocktail

  • 50ml Seedlip Garden 108
  • 35ml cloudy apple juice
  • 15ml lemon juice
  • 5ml cider vinegar
  • Dash of sugar and egg white

Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain, then shake again without the ice. Serve in a coupe. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.

 

Them Apples

A low-alcohol cocktail combining bright and zesty apple with clove-edged Seedlip Spice 94

Put everything except the soda water in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake together and pour into a highball. Top with soda. (If you’re feeling particularly fancy, garnish with an edible flower.)

Raid the back of the cupboard to mix up this zesty cocktail

  • 50ml Seedlip Spice 94
  • 30ml grapefruit juice
  • 15ml lemon juice
  • 2tsp of any seasonal preserve (we like blackcurrant jam)

Shake all the ingredients together with ice. Strain into another glass, then strain again into a coupe. Garnish with a sprig of basil.
