Rosemary Clementine Sparkler (Mocktail)

This non-alcoholic Rosemary Clementine Sparkler Mocktail is a sophisticated mocktail perfect for the holidays. Rosemary-juniper syrup, fresh squeezed clementine juice and sparkling water make a fresh and not too sweet winter mocktail.  Just because you aren’t drinking doesn’t mean you can’t have a fun drink!

If you are abstaining from alcohol during the holiday season, finding a good mocktail can be a challenge.  Your choices are usually limited to sparkling water or soda, or some sickly sweet concoction.  Why can’t the designated drivers and preggo ladies have any fun?

That was why I developed this Rosemary Clementine Sparkler Mocktail.  Sophisticated winter flavors like rosemary, juniper, winter citrus and orange bitters means this mocktail can stand on it’s own against craft cocktails.  It is fresh and not too sweet, something that can be hard to find with non-alcoholic party drink choices.

I have been obsessed with clementines lately – going through bags of them.  I can’t get enough of that winter citrus! Rosemary and Juniper add a nice herbal flavor, but the secret here is orange bitters.  Bitters add a certain “cocktaily” flavor you can’t get anywhere else.  Walking around with one of these Rosemary Clementine Sparklers in your hand will make you feel festive and celebratory and certainly not left out of all the fun!
