With summer around the corner, we can’t help but let our thoughts drift to days spent outdoors with a refreshing (non-alcoholic) drink in hand. Highlighted as one of the year’s top health and wellness trends, alcohol-free cocktails are the toast of the season - and to celebrate, we’ve crafted two mocktails inspired by some of your favorite Eminence Organics ingredients. Featuring rhubarb, raspberry, rosehip and lavender, these mouthwatering, non-alcoholic cocktails will keep you cool - and on trend - all summer long.

RASPBERRY, RHUBARB & ROSEHIP MOCKTAIL

This delicious, alcohol-free cocktail features the same healthy, organic ingredients that are found in Eminence Organics Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum, Raspberry Pore Refining Masque and Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15.

Ingredients - Raspberry, Rhubarb & Rosehip Syrup
2 cups sliced organic rhubarb
2 cups organic raspberries
1 tbsp dried rosehips
¾ cup organic raw sugar or honey
1 cup water

Ingredients - Mocktail
Rhubarb, Raspberry & Rosehip Syrup
Sparkling water
Ice

Step 1: Make Rhubarb, Raspberry & Rosehip Syrup
Combine rhubarb, raspberries, rosehips, sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain the mixture and refrigerate liquid until chilled.

Step 2: Prep Your Non-Alcoholic Cocktail
Pour 2 tablespoons of syrup into a glass. Add ice, sparkling water, and more syrup to taste.

FRESH LAVENDER LEMONADE
