Quick And Refreshing Mocktail Recipes To Try This Sunday
Sundays are my favorite days of the week. I mean, I get to dress stylishly to church, spend an amazing time in the presence of God, and sum the day up with a wonderful brunch or dinner.
However, the thing with food is that eating it regularly makes it lose its thrill and satisfaction. Hence, occasionally, I endeavor to be a little extra with my Sunday meals. By extra, I mean trying out tasty side dishes or making refreshing fancy drinks
A mocktail is the perfect drink rto add flavor and excitement to any meal. Mocktails are fanciful non-alcoholic drinks intended to look and taste like cocktails but without all the alcohol. With mocktails, the alcoholic ingredients are replaced with juice, seltzers, or water. They are indeed refreshing accompaniments to any meal.
