First of all, I can hear y’all now. MOCKtails? On Game Day????????? Well, here’s why: Some of us have to work the next day. Some of us don’t like hangovers. Some of us don’t drink. And some of us may have little underage ones who want to join in on the fun. OK? You’re welcome to add your own adultness to these- vodka and/or rum would work well in both. And now that we have that out of the way…..
Two teams, one game. Who are you rooting for? These mocktails, first, the Bronco Brew. I think the fun part is the blue sugar rim. That’s enough to get your cheer on. For the sugar rims, I filled two bowls- one with blue sugar, the other with silver sugar. A quick dip in water for the glass rim then a roll in the sugar bowls and voila- sugar rims.
The drink itself? Oh ya- that. Pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine, muddled oranges and club soda. Super sweet but super refreshing and delicious.
Then there’s the other team-
The Carolina Colada with pineapple juice, cream of coconut, muddled blueberries and club soda with a silver sugar rim.
So which side are you on?
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 4 tablespoons grenadine cherry syrup
- 2 slices oranges cut into 4 segments each
- 1/4 cup club soda
- blue sugar optional
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
- 4 tablespoons creme of coconut
- blue food coloring 1-2 drops per serving
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup club soda
- silver sugar optional
- If adding the blue sugar rim, fill a small bowl with blue sugar crystals. Wet the rim of the serving glass with water, than swirl the glass in the blue sugar.
- For the beverage, add the orange segments to the glass and gently muddle with the back of a spoon or a muddler.
- Add the pineapple juice, orange juice and grenadine cherry syrup into a cockail shaker and shake until blended.
- To the glass add a few ice cubes, then pour the juice mixture over the ice and the muddled oranges.
- Top the juice mixture with the club soda and serve immediately.
- If adding the silver sugar rim, fill a small bowl with blue sugar crystals. Wet the rim of the serving glass with water, than swirl the glass in the silver sugar.
- For the beverage, add the bluberries to the glass and gently muddle with the back of a spoon or a muddler.
- Add the pineapple juice, creme of coconut and 1-2 drops blue food coloring into a cockail shaker and shake until blended.
- To the glass add a few ice cubes, then pour the juice mixture over the ice and the muddled blueberries.
- Top the juice mixture with the club soda and serve immediately.
I hope your Game Day party is a touchdown!
