Instructions

Description: The Midnight Citrus Serenade is a versatile cocktail perfect for welcoming the New Year. This drink offers a sparkling, refreshing burst with a citrusy zing that can be enjoyed with or without alcohol. The non-alcoholic version maintains the sophistication and flavor of its spirited counterpart, ensuring all guests can toast to new beginnings with the same festive flair. Ingredients: - 2 oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) - 1 oz Honey syrup (equal parts honey and warm water blended until smooth) - 3 oz Sparkling water (for the non-alcoholic version) or 3 oz Prosecco (for the alcoholic version) - 1/2 oz Elderflower cordial - A few fresh mint leaves - Ice cubes - Garnish: Lemon wheel and a sprig of mint Instructions: 1. In a shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves with the honey syrup to release the flavors. 2. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and ice cubes to the shaker. 3. If making the non-alcoholic version, also add the elderflower cordial to the shaker. For the alcoholic version, the elderflower cordial will be added directly to the glass later. 4. Shake vigorously for around 10 seconds. 5. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice for the non-alcoholic version, or into a Champagne flute if making the alcoholic version. 6. Top up the non-alcoholic drink with sparkling water or the alcoholic one with Prosecco. 7. If making the alcoholic version, now gently pour the elderflower cordial into the Champagne flute to create a layering effect. 8. Garnish with a thinly-sliced lemon wheel and a sprig of fresh mint. 9. Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, celebratory flavors of the Midnight Citrus Serenade. The choice of glassware elevates the drinking experience, with the highball glass offering a casual feel for the mocktail, and the elegance of the Champagne flute enhancing the New Year's toast for those who opt for the cocktail.
