The little story: the revival of the mocktail
While non-alcoholic cocktails may seem like a modern trend, their origins are much older. The first real boom ofmocktailsdates back to theProhibitionin the United States. To circumvent the alcohol ban, bars of the time created sophisticated blends of fruit juices and tea.
After a long absence, this culture of "healthy drinking" made a grand return to Europe in the 2000s with the detox trend. The Summer Again fits into this legacy: a balanced mix, far from classic fruit juices, ideal for refreshing yourself under the sun!

2 cl of fresh lime juice(freshly squeezed for acidity).
4 cl of mango juice(for creaminess and sweetness).

The service:Pour everything (with the ice or by straining over fresh ice) into your Tumbler glass.
The decoration:Add a slice of fresh lemon and a cinnamon stick.Expert tip: cinnamon adds a woody aroma that beautifully contrasts with exotic fruits.
