By Mrs. Tilford is throwing me a hybrid engagement-and-baby shower at the church in two weeks. The recipe Saturday was a sparkling white grape juice mocktail to test for the shower bar. White grape juice with a splash of club soda, lime, and ginger. The whole thing pregnancy-friendly and elegant.
The recipe is below.
Sparkling White Grape Juice
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 cups white grape juice, chilled
- 2 cups ginger ale or club soda, chilled
- 1 cup white cranberry juice, chilled
- 1/2 cup frozen white grape juice concentrate, thawed
- 1 lime, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Fresh mint sprigs (optional, for garnish)
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Chill your ingredients. Make sure all juices and the ginger ale or club soda are fully chilled before mixing. This preserves the bubbles and keeps the drink refreshing.
- Combine the juices. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, stir together the white grape juice, white cranberry juice, and white grape juice concentrate until well blended.
- Add the fizz. Just before serving, slowly pour in the ginger ale or club soda, pouring along the side of the bowl or pitcher to retain as much carbonation as possible.
- Add ice and garnish. Add ice to the bowl or to individual glasses. Float lime slices on top and add a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
- Serve immediately. Pour into glasses and serve right away so the sparkling bubbles stay lively. Raise a glass and toast the moment.
