🍇 Blueberry Smash Non-Alcoholic Cocktail with VerGin Bloom
This mocktail recipe is refreshing, fruit-forward, and perfect for mindful drinking.
Standard Recipe
- 50ml VerGin SA Bloom
- A handful of fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup
- ½ lemon, juiced
- Sparkling water/ tonic
VerGin Style
- 25ml VerGin SA Bloom
- Same as above, but with extra blueberries to boost the fruitiness
- Slightly less sparkling water to keep the flavour punchy
How to make:
Muddle blueberries and honey together in a shaker or glass until juicy. Add VerGin SA Bloom and fresh lemon juice. Shake (or stir) with ice until chilled. Strain into a glass over ice, top with sparkling water/sugar-free tonic. Garnish with extra blueberries and a sprig of mint.
✨ Why it works: Bloom’s floral notes don’t get lost even at half the measure; the blueberries balance it beautifully.
🍹Alcohol-Free Margarita Spritz with VerGin Limón
It’s a zesty, tangy, and unapologetically bold non-alcoholic margarita that delivers the full punch of citrus without the alcohol.
Standard Recipe
- 50ml VerGin SA Limón
- 30ml fresh lime juice
- 15ml orange juice (or alcohol-free triple sec)
- 15ml agave syrup
- Top up with tonic or soda water
- Salt for the rim
VerGin Style
- 25ml VerGin SA Limón
- Keep lime + orange juice the same
- Reduce agave syrup to 10ml to keep balance
- Top up with tonic or soda water
- Build over ice in a smaller glass, same flavour, just more elegant proportions
How to make:
Run a lime wedge around the glass rim and dip into salt. In a shaker with ice, combine VerGin SA Limón, lime juice, orange juice, and agave syrup. Shake until frosty. Strain into your salt-rimmed glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
✨ Why it works: Limón is zesty and vibrant enough to carry the citrus forward without doubling the measure.
🍯Bee’s Knees Mocktail with VerGin Bloom
This alcohol-free cocktail is a Prohibition-era favourite reimagined. Elegant, tangy, and timeless.
Standard Recipe
- 50ml VerGin SA Limón
- 25ml fresh lemon juice
- 25ml fresh orange juice
- 20ml honey syrup (1:1 honey + water)
Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, garnish with a lemon twist.
VerGin Style
- 25ml VerGin SA Limón
- 15ml lemon juice (slightly reduced for balance)
- 15ml orange juice
- 10ml honey syrup
- Serve in a petite coupe for that chic, “less is more” feel
How to make:
Add Limón, lemon juice, orange juice, and honey syrup to a shaker with ice. Shake until silky and chilled. Strain into a coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist, orange peel or dried citrus wheel.
✨ Why it works: Limón is zesty and vibrant enough that it doesn’t need 50ml to shine. The smaller pour actually makes it smoother and more refined.
🌿 Final Sip
Here’s the thing: with most spirits, 50ml is standard. With VerGin SA, 25ml is plenty. That means less liquid, more taste, and a lighter, mindful sip.
Whether you mix the standard way or go VerGin Style, you’ll always end up with a drink that feels special. Because with VerGin SA, it’s never about quantity, it’s about quality.
So gather your glasses, raid your fruit bowl, and get mixing, because fun, flavourful cocktails should always be this easy. 🍸✨
