Many bars and restaurants are responding to the consumer demands for fresh juice in the cocktails that they serve. Distinguish your establishment from the competition with a signature handcrafted cocktail. Get creative when naming the new beverage and offer a virgin option too. Using fresh squeezed juice in your mix will improve the taste and guarantee repeat customers. Fresh squeezed juice will add a delicious mix to sodas and other non-alcoholic drinks as well. Many customers want to enjoy a holiday cocktail but not the alcohol so including a virgin cocktail section to your menu is a great idea. Here are a few of our favorite recipes. Give them a try and let us know what you think.
Salavatore Calabrese created a stylish guide to virgin cocktails. In his book, “Virgin Cocktails” by Salvatore Calabrese he gives a great introduction to the art of creating the ultimate virgin cocktail. According to Calabrese, “The ultimate virgin cocktail is one untouched by alcohol and the human hand. A cocktail shaken to perfection, and balanced in all flavors. The cocktails texture is smooth on the tonuge and it’s aroma piquant; its color reflects the innocent purity of the ingredients. In practical terms what makes a virgin cocktail? Fresh fruits, ice (cubed or crushed) just-pressed juices, and an excellent recipe. The garnish and glass are important too.”
Tips: “Ice must be fresh and dry”
Apple-Beet Beauty
2 oz apple juice
2 oz fresh beet juice

Carrot and Cranberry Cocktail
4 oz carrot juice
2 oz cranberry juice
2 teaspoons clear honey
Shake all ingredients with ice to let ingredients combine well. Strain into highball filled with ice.
Virgin Mojito
1 teaspoon superfine (caster) sugar
2/3 oz fresh lime juice
bunch of fresh mint on the stem
Put the sugar and lime juice in the bottom of a highball with a thick base. Add the mint leaves and muddle with the end of a bar spoon or a wooden muddler. This releases the essence from the mint. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Top up with sparkling water. Stir.
