RECIPES
ALCOHOL FREE
Whether you ' re on a sober journey , or just fancy something a bit different , Christian Gott shares his favourite NoLo recipes .
FROZEN MARGARITA
The secret of many a good cocktail , alcoholic or otherwise , is to use freshly squeezed juices .
INGREDIENTS
• 250ml crushed ice
• Juice of 2 fresh limes
• Juice of ½ large orange
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tbsp agave nectar
• Flaky sea salt , for the glass
• 2 lime wedges
METHOD 1 . First , you need to add salt to the rim of your glass for that essential margarita flavour . Run a lime wedge over the rim of your favourite glass , and roll in the salt , gently tapping to remove excess . 2 . Carefully add the rest of the ingredients into a jug and mix together . Pour into the prepared glass and garnish with a fresh lime wedge .
" 2022 is the year of the NoLo drink . For those not in the loop , that ’ s non-alcoholic and low alcohol drinks . This year will see the release of the first barrel-aged , non-alcoholic rye whiskey and non-alcoholic versions of big-name spirit brands like Gordons and Tanqueray . Why not have a go at making your own nonalcoholic drinks ? These are my favourite NoLo recipes ."
