Mocktails at Christmas are such a treat. They taste even fresher than their alcoholic counterparts and leave you with a clear head. They're also a great way of topping up your vitamin quota for the day in these times of sniffles and sneezes.

Innocent asked me to come up with a mocktail for one of the 12 days of Christmas and I was happy to oblige. I'm number day number seven, but just to refresh your memory......

On the seventh day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Seven swans a-swimming  

 

Seven Swans a-Swimming! "Blooming heck," I thought, "what do I do with that?"

It was a bit of a stretch of the imagination, let me tell you. The lucky sods who got number one and number eight were laughing, with their milk and their pears, but seven swans a-swimming?  

I triumphed! 

I've concocted the most divine mocktail you will ever have the pleasure to drink and I call it .......  

Seven Sips a Sparkling  

Fresh pineapple, Innocent apple juice, fresh ginger and mixed spice all finished off with some spicy fizz of ginger beer. It is divine!


  
Merry Christmas everyone!  

And a big thank you to Innocent for my rather wonderful recipe card.

Disclosure: Innocent sent me a mocktail shaker along with a voucher to buy my ingredients. I was not required to write a positive review and any opinions expressed are my own.

These lemony biscuits (cookies) are crisp and sugary on the outside and buttery soft with the sharp taste of lemon in the middle.   ...
