Dry January Mocktail Delights

No one can talk me out of the belief that a good mocktail is a thing of beauty. So when “dry january” rolls around and the mocktails come out, I’m not only ready, but a willing participant in the celebration of juice, flavor, and hopefully an edible flower or two.

In case you haven’t found the mocktail of your dreams, here are some options that will have you feeling great (and virtuous) all through the month. Each makes about four people’s worth if you feel like sharing.

Pomegranate Mojito
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic pomegranate juice
- 1 organic lime juiced
- 1 organic bunch mint
- Ginger Ale or ginger syrup + seltzer (organic versions)
- Ice

Instructions:
- Mix the juices (lime and pom) in a pitcher.
- Take 10 mint leaves and bruise them with your hands and drop them in. Clean the rest of the mint into sprigs you can put on the top of the drink.
- Add about an equal amount of either ginger ale or seltzer. If you use seltzer, put in about a tablespoon of either ginger syrup or any flavor you like that would go.
- For each glass (this makes 3 or 4) put ice in the glass, pour the mocktail over it, and then garnish the heck out of it with mint sprigs and lime wedges.

Rosemary Blueberry Smash
Ingredients:
- 10 fresh organic blueberries
- One 2” fresh organic rosemary sprig
- 1 Tbsp organic Agave syrup
- 6 oz organic club soda or sparkling mineral water
- Extra blueberries and rosemary for garnish

Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the club soda to a cup and muddle with the handle end of a wooden spoon.
- Strain the blueberry mixture. Or don’t if you want some texture.
- Pour the juices into a serving glass over ice.
- Top the glass with soda and garnish with rosemary and blueberries.
