MOCKTAIL RECIPES

Mocktails (Virgin cocktails) are drinks that are made by mixing two or more non-alcoholic beverages like fruit juices, flavoured aerated water, syrups etc. The term mocktail is an abbreviation of two words-‘mock’ and ‘cocktails’. Well known examples for mock tails include Fruit Punch, Virgin Mary, Shirley Temple, Roy Rogers etc. They can be stirred, layered, build and shaken.

Points to be beared in mind while preparing mocktails
 Most of the mock tails are served chilled. Hence, ensure that the glasses are chilled before the service
 Serve immediately after shaking or mixing
 Do not fill the glass till brim
 Good quality garnishes should be used
 Ensure that your bar is well equipped with the necessary ingredients and equipments required for making mock tails (Ice cubes, cocktail shakers, mixing spoons, knives etc.)

Service of mocktails
Mocktails are normally served chilled in their appropriate glassware from the right hand side of the guest. Ensure that the coaster is placed first followed by the straw holder with straws. Instead of coasters, B&B plate/saucers can be used as an under liner. In case of thick mock tails (where cream is used) tablespoons or parfait spoons have to be served according to the glassware.

Following are the recipes of some mocktails-
