Jam mocktails are a fun new drink, made with one of the half-empty jars of jam in your fridge! Thanks to this fun technique, you can make non-alcoholic drinks like this Lemon-Pineapple mocktail on a daily basis (and add some booze on the weekends if you’d like!)
Did you know that pregnant women shouldn’t drink boozy cocktails while they’re pregnant!? Heck, supposedly they can’t even drink coffee. I’m hoping that’s a myth, because I can’t imagine a life without coffee! Without booze, I’m pretty fine, since I tend to find creative ways to make delicious drinks without booze anyway. (Yeah, you just don’t want to ever see me drunk, and let’s leave it at that.)
But enough about me – Let’s talk about our guest of honor, the one who we are throwing this fun virtual baby shower for: Liz of The Lemon Bowl! She’s soon to have a lemony baby boy, and there’s no better way to celebrate a new life than with a party filled with lemony treats!
Jam mocktails are the perfect way to start using up your pantry and fridge staples. Who doesn’t have endless jars of jam in their fridge? Some may be holiday gifts from friends, and others from your latest travels. My lemon-pineapple jam mocktail recipe is inspired by Dessert for Two’s Whiskey Fig Jam Cocktail. No matter what flavor your taste buds crave, with a jar of jam, you can make any flavor of jam mocktails or cocktails you want to!
I hope you enjoy this recipe for lemon-pineapple jam mocktails!
- 2 tablespoons pineapple jam
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- ½ can chilled San Pellegrino Aranciata
- Either in a cocktail shaker or in a jar with a small whisk, shake/whisk together all the ingredients.
- Serve in decorated glass with a wedge of fresh lemon. Cheers!
Everyone in the food blogging world has joined in the fun of this virtual baby shower, because heck, we all love Liz! Be sure to check out the rest of the lemony recipes!
Incidentally,
I used Dehydrated Lemon Peel on the rim of the glasses for the jam mocktails!
Dehydrated lemon peel is amazing and so versatile; just grab a handful and pulverize it. Then, mix it with some Demerara sugar and you’re good to go.
