Mmmm… Strawberry tart edge with lovely raspberry sweetness rolling lightly over the tongue. Play time never tastes so celebratory. Bonus… this is a mocktail so anyone can join in on the delicious sipping any time!

Fragaria Fizz – created by Cheri Loughlin

6 Fresh Strawberries

1/2 measure Raspberry Syrup

1-1/2 measure Orange Juice

1-1/2 measure Club Soda

Muddle 5 fresh strawberries and the raspberry syrup in mixing glass. Add orange juice with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into champagne flute. Top with club soda. Garnish with remaining strawberry.

Fragaria is the technical name for Strawberry. Ironically strawberries are not actually berries.

Gingerly by the Nape

Posted on September 17, 2012 | Leave a comment

Gingerly by the Nape is the Mocktail version of the classic Horse’s Neck drink recipe classic. Keep in mind classic bitters contains a fraction of alcohol, but two dashes in this size cocktail will not retain a viable affect for those wishing to maintain designated driver status. For those staying clear of alcohol completely, leave out the bitters completely.

4 to 5 ounces Ginger Ale

1/2 Fresh Lime – squeezed

2 dashes Classic Bitters

Lemon Peel Garnish

Carefully spiral a lemon inside a tall glass with ice. Build cocktail over ice. Serve.
