In addition to headaches, champagne leads to swelling and digestive problems. It is better not to risk your health and take care of yourself. Especially since there are alternatives that will not only turn out to be much tastier, but also healthier!

How to replace champagne without losses?

A beautiful and fashionable alternative to sparkling wine for New Year’s celebrations will be mocktails. We offer three author’s recipes from our expert, which can be prepared at home.

Mocktail is a non-alcoholic mixed drink. There are two directions: the first – when alcohol is evaporated, gradually getting rid of the liquid from alcohol, the second – when repeating the flavor palette of the drink, making its “copy” from non-alcoholic ingredients.

Mango Sling Mocktail

Съставки:

• ginger frosh – 10 ml;

• lemon juice – 15 ml;

• lemon-lime soda – 150 ml;

• fresh mint – 1 g (for decoration);

• ice cubes.

Traditionally, slings consist of strong alcohol, lemon juice, syrup or liqueur and soda or sparkling water. They are served in tall glasses.

In our version, we do not use alcoholic components and add a ginger frechette, which gives a special spice to the drink.
