Non alcoholic wine

I like wine too and have never had a good non-alcoholic one, sorry to say.

I think finding a good mocktail that is a slow sipper is the way to go. That way you have something to go along with dinner, but not just gulping it down in one sip. I actually made a great mocktail over the summer that was “long.”

It was primarily soda water, a lot of lime juice, simple sugar syrup, fresh mint, a very generous dash of bitters, and about 1/3 cup cranberry juice.

I can’t find the recipe, but I made it in a big pitcher. Chill it, then put in ice. Something like:

4 cups soda

1/2 to 1 cup lime juice

1/4 cup simple syrup (maybe less?)

A big dash of bitters (maybe a tsp?)

1/3 cup cranberry juice, preferably not just straight cranberry, maybe rasp-cran, or pome-cran.

torn up mint leaves, stirred in.
