At The Sober Curator our glass is always half-full, there’s just no booze in it. This weeks collaboration with @Tonix.Mocktails teaches us about how fun and easy it is to create custom ice cubes. It’s truly a simple and effective way to level up your alcohol-free cocktail game.
The Staples Class 105: unique ice cubes
On this, Just a Merry Mocktail Monday let’s chat about frozen herb garnishes! Uhhh… Stuffed ice? Mini botanical glaciers? Baby Herb-cicles? What would you like to call it? Whatever these beauties are, they’re absolutely wonderful and the possibilities are pretty vast.
This week, since we are in the ‘romantic’ time of the year, I thought it might be nice to inspire some rose ice NonAlc bevies! Remember the Rose Syrup we made together a couple of weeks ago? Well you guessed it, you can use the very same roses to fill your ice tray and add water!
Ask Alysse (CEO of the Sober Curator) about her Ice Balls…
See how marvelously one item can have multiple uses? (Also, the roses are perfect for just a little sprinkle on top for a little added flair)
Sober Curator Pro Tip: You don’t have to only use roses, you can freeze any of your garnishes! Fruits, Veggies, Herbs and Flowers!! (Just make sure the flowers are marked as edible because of the amounts of pesticides used on decorative flowers are not meant for consumption) Keeping’ it Organic, Keeping’ it Safe!
If you use any frozen garnish creations, tag @tonix.mocktail and @thesobercurator!! We’d love to see what you’ve made!
Until Next Week!!
To Your Health!
-Nik
