The January blues can really get one over on you, particularly if you’re just emerging from an indulgent Christmas into the absolute piety of dry January. The answer? A cracking repertoire of mocktails up your sleeve to liven things up.
Mocktails are all about going the extra mile to convince drinkers that the mocktail is as indulgent as the real thing, so presentation is absolutely key, and (as always) some special barware can go a long way. So, here are three of our favourites that work beautifully with the Beaumont range…
