MAKE MINE A MOCKTAIL

July is one month when many take up the ‘Dry July’ cause to raise funds for cancer sufferers, turning from cocktails to mocktails.

Cancer a ects one in three New Zealanders in one form or another, which is a good reason to support Dry July, yet there are plenty of other times when a mocktail would be perfect. Alcohol-free options are numerous, they look good and taste great. Another plus is no hangover the next day if you drink too many. Here are some tips from Metropol:

GO H2O

An obvious choice is water. New Zealand is for the most part blessed to have excellent potable water, whether it comes from a tap or a bottle, still or sparkling. Add a dash of lime, a splash of fruit juice or swig it pure. FRUITY TUTTI

Apples, oranges, kiwifruit and cranberries are a few of the choices. Squeezed, dried, frozen and fresh, fruit o ers something for all tastes. Mix them together, add ice, a garnish and enjoy. MILKY WAY

Milk is a fi rm favourite of young and old alike, from milky Milo, to smoothies or occasionally swigged straight from the bottle. Its benefi ts include important nutrients such as calcium, B vitamins, potassium and vitamin D.
