We really like the idea of a mocktail that not only tastes good but is also good for us. Seedlip is a great go-to for non-alcoholic spirits so we invited them into the BePure offices last summer for a visit, and they whipped up a delicious BePure-friendly Summer non-alcoholic cocktail that is our new happy hour favourite.
The Seedlip Summer Non Alcoholic Cocktail is a twist on a classic cocktail using ingredients like ginger and rosemary that don't aggravate inflammation the same way that sugary mixers and alcohol can.
Fresh rosemary is steeped in hot water and blended with honey to lightly sweeten the drink. Topped with sparkling water, it tickles your taste buds, and the ginger gives it a spice to keep things interesting and keep you sipping.
