Try this mocktail recipe for a Southern Mint Sip! This wonderfully simple mocktail recipe is perfect for the family.
Summer is around the corner, and every Houston resident knows that means it’s time for a tasty (and COLD) mocktail. Here in Houston, it gets so HOT, and this is the perfect drink to cool you down.
What’s a mocktail?
“A nonalcoholic drink consisting of a mixture of fruit juices or other soft drinks.”
Mocktails can come in many flavors, and I love that they are perfect for everyone to sip on. This mocktail recipe is for everyone, including teens and kids.
This recipe is a twist on one of my favorite cocktail recipes! For the mocktail version, the addition of the mint syrup and additional honey gave this mocktail a fantastic taste.
