Enjoy a non-alcoholic cocktail with vibrant blood orange juice and a zesty ginger finish. This easy to make Blood Orange Ginger Mocktail is just as delicious as a boozy drink and you will also feel fantastic the next day! Yes, please!
A Fun and Sophisticated Mocktail
Yes, cocktails are fun but sometimes it’s even better when you can enjoy a fabulous alcohol-free beverage that’s refreshing and good for you too!
This month we have been abstaining from alcohol for dry January which has now become a tradition for us and a great way to feel a little better in the new year. But this year, we found a booze-free drink that has an amazing tangy flavor with just the right amount of zip– a blood orange ginger mocktail!
An Alcohol-Free Adult Beverage
When you are ready to get the party started, don’t just settle for your usual cocktail! Why not serve this lovely ginger-citrus drink instead?! It only requires 4-ingredients and comes together in seconds.
But the best part? Everyone at your party will be able to partake! 😄
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- Blood Orange Juice – Sweet and colorful, blood orange is one of the most unique citrus fruits you can get– so much fun.
- Mint – Refreshing and aromatic, infusing the orange juice with the hint of mint makes this a mocktail and not simply juice and soda.
- Sugar – Of course a sweetener but also the coarseness of sugar helps to break down the mint as you muddle.
- Ginger Beer – Topping this drink off with strong ginger beer adds zesty flavor and will make you want to pour another one!
FAQ & Blood Orange Ginger Mocktail Tips:
-
Can I use ginger ale instead of ginger beer?
- Yes, absolutely. However, just be aware that ginger beer has a stronger ginger flavor so your drink won’t be quite as zippy. Additionally, you can also muddle some fresh ginger into the drink as well for a stronger flavor, if desired.
-
Can I substitute regular orange juice for the blood orange?
- Yep! If you can’t get your hands on blood oranges, feel free to juice a navel orange or even use store bought juice instead.
-
Don’t forget to strain your mocktail for easier sipping
- After you muddle the fresh mint and sugar with the blood orange juice, use a small fine-mesh strainer to remove the smashed leaves. This will ensure that your mocktail has incredible flavor without the mess.
-
Mix It Up
- Blood oranges aren’t available? Try mandarin orange, grapefruit, or tangerine juice instead. Of course, navel oranges are also an option too.
- Not a fan of mint? Use another herb such as basil or cilantro for a unique twist.
- Prefer a sweeter cocktail? Add some extra sugar when you are muddling.
- Trying to reduce your sugar intake? Leave out the sugar altogether and use sugar free ginger ale instead.
A Heavenly Ginger-Orange Drink
No need to feel left out at the next party when you can enjoy a fun and sophisticated beverage that also happens to be zero-proof. Yep, we are going to be sipping on this one long after January is said and done and we are guessing you will want to do the same. Cheers!
