Ingredients for Our Non-Alcoholic Drink
Our mocktail is easy and fun to make with these simple ingredients:
- Simple Syrup: This sweet liquid adds a balanced sweetness to counter the tartness of the raspberries, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the mocktail.
- Lemon Juice: With its refreshing citrusy flavor, lemon juice adds a zesty kick to the drink, providing a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the other ingredients. Freshly squeezed lime juice can also be used.
- Grenadine: Known for its depth of flavor and rich red color, grenadine not only enhances the taste but also contributes to the visual appeal of the mocktail, making it visually enticing.
- Monday Zero Alcohol Gin: Offering a botanical essence without the alcohol content, Monday Zero Alcohol Gin adds complexity to the mocktail, providing a sophisticated flavor reminiscent of traditional gin-based cocktails.
- Raspberries: As the star ingredient, fresh raspberries bring natural sweetness and vibrant color to the mocktail, infusing it with fruity goodness and visual allure. Consider adding other types of fresh berries, such as strawberries.
- Sprite: Adding fizz and brightness, Sprite elevates the mocktail with its effervescence, creating a refreshing and uplifting drinking experience.
- Ice Cubes: Essential for keeping the drink chilled and refreshing. Add ice to maintain the optimal serving temperature for this delicious drink.

How this Raspberry Mocktail is Made
The Vow, in Destiny, is a weapon. A bow that Lord Shaxx offers as a reward to you and your "couple" who compete in the crucible. Shaxx promises to marry those who earn this bow. However, you cannot actually marry off your guardian. I just went ahead and married my Crimson Days partner in real life!
In a drink mixer, combine Gin, grenadine, lemon juice, simple syrup, and ice.
In Champagne glasses, place 5 tart raspberries each.
Cover the shaker and shake for at least 10 seconds. Using a cocktail strainer, strain and pour your mixture into the 3 champagne glasses.
Top with Sprite and stir to combine with the muddled raspberries. Now, enjoy your refreshing raspberry with its sparkle and beauty. This mocktail is perfect for hot summer days or a romantic night in.
How to Turn Our Non-Alcoholic Mocktail Recipe Into a Cocktail
To make this stunning mocktail into a cocktail is just a few swaps away. Swap out Sprite for Champagne. Replace the NA Gin with the gin of your choice. Bombay Sapphire is an amazing brand.
Turn it into a Non Alcoholic Raspberry Mojito Mocktail
Alternatively, add some fresh mint leaves and fresh lime juice as a garnish to make a delicious raspberry mojito or raspberry lemonade. If you don't drink alcohol, make a non alcoholic raspberry mojito by ditching the gin and adding lemon-lime soda or sparkling water for the perfect raspberry mojito mocktail!
