The Watermelon & Cucumber Non-Alcoholic Highball cocktail

This non-alcoholic Highball is a classic that you can’t go past. Combining the bubbles of soda to bring out the flavours and botanics of the non-alcoholic spirit, there are also the sweet juices of watermelon in here. This refreshing drink is the perfect thirst quencher on a warm day.

The Highball is a classic simple drink that generally mixes a spirit with soda in a tall glass, but here, this recipe proves that an alternative base, such as the non-alcoholic Lyre’s Dry London Spirit, still works a treat. The addition of lime juice, sugar syrup and a crisp, cool garnish like cucumber brings it all home.   

Spritzy and refreshing, you’re not going to want to switch this one up too much – it’s pretty bang-on as is. But still, play around with garnishes – if cucumber isn’t your thing, lean to herbs, such as basil or rosemary, or perhaps introduce a lime wedge to enhance that zing of lime in the drink.
