Here’s a fun Orange Garnish for you on this, Just a Merry Mocktail Monday!
As long as you have a Cutting Board, Paring Knife, Y-Peeler, and a Large Orange, you are all set!
How to Create This Clever Orange Garnish:
- Use your Y-Peeler and cut the rind diagonally
- Clean up the edges by keeping clean perpendicular lines (X-Acto knife works great for this!)
- Make a capital N shape (N for Nik! N for Non-Alc! N for No Booze! LOL)
- Spin 360 degrees and cross the points in the center!
Full transparency, I am just getting home from Tiki Oasis 2021 where I was the Presenter of the 90 Minute Mocktails & Garnishes Class and I am very very sleeeepy! Thank you for keeping up with me and thank you for understanding! Stay tuned for more awesome Tiki Oasis content!
Until Next Week,
To Your Health,
Xoxo,
-Nik

We love to collab with like-minded people in recovery. When you join the conversations on Wednesdays at the SOBER POP Club we record the conversations. WHY? Because the conversations always pop! But in all seriousness, we simply found that the conversations we were having on various sober pop culture topics were so informative and fun. Even if you aren’t available to attend one of our rooms in the club, you can still catch up on the conversation playback and find out what you missed. (Because FOMO is a real thing!)
