3/4 ounce (4 1/2 teaspoons) Lemon Verbena Simple Syrup

1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) fresh lemon juice

Champagne, for topping off (about 1/2 cup)

1 fresh lemon verbena leaf, for garnish

Cinderella

Ingredients:

1 oz lemon juice

1 oz orange juice

1 oz pineapple juice

2 oz Ginger Ale

Dash of Grenadine

Pineapple and orange slices for garnish

The taste of tropical fruit comes to life in this refreshing mocktail.  If you’d like a more elegant looking Cinderella, cut all of the juices and ginger ale in half and serve it in a chilled cocktail glass.  Garnish with both pineapple and orange slices, and don’t forget that little paper umbrella for an extra finishing touch.

Another set of great, refreshing beverages that you can use to spice up your event, and also help to save on bar expenses!  Enjoy responsibly!
