7 non-alcoholic cocktail recipes that will replace champagne on the New Year's table

1. Mandarin "champagne"

Looks like champagne, bubbles like champagne, and as a bonus - a pleasant citrus New Year's taste.

Ingredients

• 120 g of mandarin pulp;
• 140 ml of soda;
• 10 ml sugar syrup;
• ice;
• mint.

Preparation

Peel the tangerine from the zest, remove the foil from the slices and remove the seeds - so that only the pulp remains. Squeeze it with a muddler (cocktail pusher) or a regular fork until juicing. Add syrup and soda, stir. Put pieces of ice in a glass, pour the cocktail. Decorate the drink with a mint leaf.

2. Cranberry Ginger Scrub

A spicy and aromatic drink perfect for a winter party. The cocktail is so named because of its main ingredient, shraba, a syrup made with vinegar. It is impractical to make a scrub for one serving, therefore the recipe indicates the ingredients for 10 servings: you can put the leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy the drink throughout the New Year holidays.

Ingredients

For a shrub:

• 450 g frozen cranberries;
• 200 ml of apple cider vinegar;

• slices of peeled ginger root to taste.

For a cocktail:

• 30 ml scrub;
• 150 ml of soda;
• ice.

Preparation

In a saucepan, combine all the shrub ingredients and place over medium heat. As soon as the future syrup boils, reduce the power of the stove and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the berries are soft. Then remove the scrub from the heat and cool completely. Take out the cinnamon sticks. Then, through cheesecloth or a sieve, separate the liquid from the pieces of ginger, peel and berry seeds.

Now you can make a cocktail. Put a few ice cubes in a glass, pour scrub and soda. To add more facets to the flavor of the drink, soda can be replaced with tonic.
