Blog

The Botanical Pour blog is where we share the techniques and ideas behind our drinks. Here you’ll find how-to guides for making mocktails at home, garnishes that make a glass look special, tips for batching drinks for a crowd and seasonal ideas for hosting, from autumn suppers to summer garden parties.Good alcohol-free drinks rely on balance: sweetness, acidity, bitterness, aroma and texture. Our technique posts explain each one in plain English, so you can fix a drink that tastes flat or create your own from what’s in the fridge. Hosting posts cover the practical side, like what to make ahead, how much ice to buy and how to keep warm drinks warm.For full recipes, head to our botanical mocktail recipes and syrups and infusions. Everything is written for UK kitchens, with metric measures.
