How to make: French Connection non-alcoholic cocktail

On this week's blog we introduce you to one of our delicious non-alcoholic cocktails from our Drinks Menu.

'French Connection' is a summery blend of fresh ingredients that are sure to make your mouth water. Non-alcoholic cocktails are often overlooked by many, but we think they can be an incredible blend of flavours, and some of them are perfect for both adults and younger Fazendeiros alike.

We want to show you how you can make this drink simply and easily at home as it's perfect for the coming summer months, Fazendeiros.

Ingredients

20ml Apple juice

20ml Elderflower cordial

15ml Monin Orgeat almond syrup

10ml Lime juice

Cubed ice

Cucumber tonic water

Method

Add all of the ingredients, except the tonic water, into a Boston cocktail shaker tin with ice and shake well until the shaker is cold to ensure all the ingredients are properly mixed.

Next, strain these ingredients into a glass filled with cubed ice.

To finish this flavourful drink, top it up with cucumber tonic water.

For the perfect garnish, top with an edible flower and a slice of fresh cucumber.

If you'd prefer to see a video of this perfect concoction being made, you can watch Liam, one of our bartenders at Fazenda Leeds, creating the perfect one for us here.

If you try this at home, we'd love to see your creations over on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
