Spirits

It's time to reclaim alcohol-free drinks from the bland and the boring, and instead elevate the cordials, infusions, syrups and mocktails to unprecedented heights of deliciousness.

For too long designated drivers, detoxers, and teetotallers have been left out in the cold when it comes to great drinks. Instead they are forced to sip on the same insipid fruit juices that make up most alcohol-free offerings. Thankfully help is at hand with Mocktails, Cordials, Infusions, Syrups, and More--a collection of delicious recipes that are welcome alternatives to the dull sodas or mineral water. These drinks prove that ditching the booze doesn't mean sacrificing taste. Exciting ingredients and flavor combinations such as strawberry and black pepper, mango and ginger, lemon and thyme, coffee and cardamom, or blueberry and elderflower will make your taste buds stand up and pay attention. And another bonus: no hangovers!
