Why I Love This Orange Cream Mocktail
Talk about refreshing, this orange cream mocktail hits all the notes! My favorite thing about this mocktail is that it uses whole fresh fruit! Be sure to have a strainer on hand in case you prefer less pulp in your drink. In addition to being refreshing and using whole fruit, you only need a few ingredients.
How To Make An Orange Cream Mocktail
First and foremost, you'll want to get all your ingredients ready for the blender. I prefer to start with liquids in the blender first, then solids and powders.
To peel your lemon and lime, simply cut away the peel as much as you can. You can choose to juice the lemon and lime or cut the peel and toss the rest in. If you use a cara cara orange, it's pretty easy to peel and adds sweetness to the drink!
After all your ingredients are ready, I recommend using the cup (not the pitcher) to make your mocktail. This will save you from having to clean the entire pitcher.
Do You Garnish A Mocktail?
Equally important as how the mocktail tastes is the garnish. Who doesn't enjoy a garnish? When I see a garnish on my mocktail it makes me feel like I'm not missing out on not having alcohol.
When it comes to garnishing this mocktail, you have a few options to place on your mocktail pick:
Cocktail cherry
Slices of the peel - twist them around the pick
Fresh berries
While we're on the topic of garnishes, if you'd like to make this mocktail a cocktail - simply add the alcohol of your choice. I believe gin or tequila would taste great in this orange-cream mocktail. A spiced rum would give a nice flavor as well.
