She Doesn't Even Go Here (Mocktail)
Let’s make Dry January Fun!!
Alright this is the last beverage post of Dry January; if you’re participating this is perfect for you; if you’re not don’t fret you can booze her up by replacing the Non- Alcoholic gin with Waterloo Barrel Aged Antique Gin. This is a fun mocktail because it’s tart, refreshing and it makes you feel fancy without the booze. This Mocktail takes a little more preparation than the last mocktail recipe I gave y’all.
The Prep (Don’t stress its easier than you think)
The Simple Syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1/2 tbsp 5 spice
Step 1: In a sauce pot combine the three ingredients and cook until sugar has dissolved in the water
Step 2: Remove from stove and cool
Step 3: Reserve in the refrigerator for cocktail time
The Pear Puree
5 Ripe pears
1 cup water
Step 1: Cut & core pears
Step 2: Cover in water
Step 3: Puree Pears, reserve the water you may need to thin out the puree. (If you do use the water add it in gradually until you get your desired consistency).
The Ingredients (Single Mocktail)
1.5 oz Seedlip NA Spice Gin
1.5 oz Pear Puree
.5 oz Lemon Juice
.75 oz 5 spice simple syrup
Batch It Babe (5 Mocktails)
7.5 oz Seedlip NA Spice Gin
7.5 oz Pear Puree
2.5 oz Lemon Juice
3.75 oz 5 spice simple syrup
How it’s done
Step 1: Add your pear puree, simple syrup, lemon juice, & NA Gin to a shaker.
Step 2: Top with ice, and shake for about 25 seconds.
Step 3: Strain the ice and pour into your glass of choice.
Step 4: Top with a little ice.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Pro Tip: If you can’t find NA Gin you can replace the gin with a little water.
Drink up Babes!!

Pomegranate Mule (Mocktail)
Let’s make Dry January Fun!!
Alright this week is the start of Dry January; if you’re participating this is perfect for you; if you’re not don’t fret you can booze her up with a shot of vodka. This is a fun mocktail becuase it’s tart, refreshing and it makes you feel fancy without the booze. Everything in this mocktail can be purchased at a grocery store; so bonus points for making your life easy!

5 oz Pomegranate Juice
3.75 oz Lime Juice
5 Cans of Ginger Beer

How it’s done
Step 1: Add your Pomegranate & Lime Juice to your glass of choice. I felt with sticking to the mule theme and using a copper mule mug.

Step 3: Fill the remaining space with ginger beer.

Step 5: Enjoy!
