The Secret to a Better Mocktail

The Secret to a Better Mocktail

With Dilmah Elixir, tea becomes more than something you brew. It becomes the base for something fresh, creative and completely your own.

Dilmah Elixir of Ceylon Tea brings depth, aroma and natural tea character to alcohol-free drinks, giving mocktails the structure they often miss. Instead of relying on juice alone, each recipe starts with real Ceylon tea, then builds from there.

Fresh, layered and easy to make, these are mocktails with a little more going on.

Here are a few to get you mixing it up.

Make It Your Own

The best mocktails do not need to imitate cocktails. They just need balance, flavour and flair.

With Dilmah Elixir of Ceylon Tea, you can build from the tea up - floral, fruity, citrusy, bright, bold or gently spiced.

Keep it simple. Play with the garnish. Pour it over ice.

And most importantly... mix it up!
