Refreshing garden-inspired mocktail

Instructions

Immerse yourself in the refreshing embrace of a garden with the Garden Serenity Spritz, a unique salad-inspired mocktail that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also offers a visual spectacle akin to a fresh salad bowl. The crisp notes of lettuce blend seamlessly with a symphony of herbaceous and citrus flavors, creating a non-alcoholic beverage that's perfect for any occasion, especially when you're looking for a refreshing and healthful indulgence. Ingredients: - 3 large Romaine lettuce leaves - 1/4 cup fresh cucumber juice - 1/2 cup cloudy apple juice - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - 1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option) - A small handful of fresh basil leaves - Sparkling water to top up - Ice cubes Garnish: - A mini skewer of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and a basil leaf (Caprese-style) - A small Romaine lettuce leaf - Thin cucumber slice Glass: - Highball glass Instructions: 1. Begin by gently muddling the Romaine lettuce leaves and basil in the bottom of a cocktail shaker to release their essential oils. Be careful not to over-muddle as you want to maintain some texture. 2. Add the cucumber juice, apple juice, lemon juice, and honey to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine all the ingredients. 4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice cubes, ensuring that any large pieces of lettuce or basil are caught by the strainer. 5. Top up the mocktail with sparkling water, giving it a gentle stir to integrate all the flavors. 6. For the garnish, carefully thread a few cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls onto a mini skewer, alternating with a basil leaf for that Caprese salad flair. Place the skewer across the top of the glass. 7. Add a small Romaine lettuce leaf to the rim of the glass and slide a thin cucumber slice down the inside of the glass for an artistic touch. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, verdant taste of your Garden Serenity Spritz! This mocktail offers a delightful way to enjoy the fresh flavors of the garden in a glass, perfect for social gatherings, a relaxing afternoon, or as a novel accompaniment to a light meal.
