Mocktails?

Yesterday, we celebrated the dad's birthday in advance since mum will be going away on a business trip during his actual birthday.

And so after a meal of chilli crab, salted egg yolk crab, stir-fry and salad, I decided to make some mocktail. Since there weren't enough spirits at home and since Im underage anyway, I made some mocktail instead.

I got the recipe from mybestcocktails.com and made the orange-lime relaxer. So as you can probably tell from the name already, there lime and orange juice in it. Sprite is then added and the mixture is shaken.




Unfortunately, there seemed to be a problem with my shaker and no matter how tighly I held it together, the mixture was flying everywhere. I guess its time to get a new shaker? Anyway, I had to settle for stirring instead and it did change the "effect" of the mocktail a little. Overall, it turned out pretty well actually. Theres the tangy-ness from the lime and the sweetness from the orange juice and the fizzy sprite made it really refreshing to drink. (which is why I initially mistook the name of the mocktail as 'refresher' is my insta and facebook posts)

Since I have some leftover orange juice and sprite, I wanted to make myself a nice beverage after school today. Since there was not enough lime, I replaced it with some lemon. (2tbs lime 1tbs lime, 1tbs lemon) I could taste the difference, but it wasn't significant if one doesn't pay to much attention to the flavours.

Yep. That's it. Hopefully I can try out more recipes after getting a new shaker!
