Mocktails, essentially non-alcoholic cocktails, are increasingly popular and are now found in large quantities on the menus of many restaurants and bars!

Whether it is to reduce your alcohol consumption or simply to enjoy your coffee in a special way, the following mocktails will certainly charm you!

Trick: How to make lavender syrup

Lavender syrup can be hard to find in the grocery store, luckily it's very easy to make yourself! You will only need three ingredients; water, sugar and dried lavender flowers. Simply bring water to a boil, then reduce the heat and add the same amount of sugar, as well as a good quantity of dried flowers. Leave to infuse for ten minutes, then filter everything, let it rest, and that's it!

Grapefruit espresso tonic

Grapefruit espresso tonic is a perfect alternative to the classic alcoholic espresso tonic. Its fresh and refreshing taste will definitely please you!

Steps

1. Place a sprig of thyme in a large glass.

2. Pour in the pink grapefruit syrup.

3. Add the ice cubes.
