Recipe: Like a Sunrise Mocktails
Like a Sunrise Mocktails
The Christmas and Summer party season is here. There is nothing better than enjoying a few drinks with friends as the sun sets. These mocktails are the perfect combination of taste and looks. Plus they’re all frozen, so they provide the ultimate chill factor on a hot afternoon.
Each mocktail only has a few ingredients, and all have the tropical summer feels. Watermelon is generally available all year around in Australia, but their availability peaks from December to May.
Lychee’s are in season from late October until about March. I’ve used canned lychees in the mocktail as I wanted the juice as well.
Pineapples, like watermelon are available year round, but are commonly known as a summer fruit.
