Nigella Lawson’s Non-alcoholic Mistletoe Cocktail
The perfect balance of sweet, sharp and spicy, Nigella's Mistletoe mocktail is a fantastic non-alcoholic drink to serve throughout the festive season.
Introduction
I love the mixture here of sweet lime cordial, peppery ginger beer and the uplifting sharpness of fresh lime. It’s cool but warming at the same time, which makes it an entirely fitting drink for a fabulous Christmas party. To avoid mind-numbing fractions, I am giving quantities for the Mistletoe twice, to cover glass and pitcher options. But, essentially, the drink is 1 part lime cordial to 3 parts ginger beer with a squeeze or so of fresh lime.
Ingredients
| For 1 drink: | |
|---|---|
| 1 x 25ml shot | chilled lime cordial |
| 75ml | chilled ginger beer |
| ½ tsp | fresh lime juice |
| For a pitcher: | |
| 250ml | chilled lime cordial |
| 750ml | chilled ginger beer |
| 1 x 25ml shot | fresh lime juice |
Method
To make 1 drink, pour the lime cordial and ginger beer into a glass (over ice if required), spritz with fresh lime and stir gently.
To make a pitcher, chill a jug, cram with ice, and proceed as above; this makes enough for 10 drinks.
