Summer is all about the barbecue - everything is slightly charred just gives it a nice touch of extra flavour and so can cocktails! From smoked lemonade to charred pineapple colada, cocktail expert Evelyn Chick shares three mocktail recipes that are perfect for your next summer cookout that is family-friendly and highlight all the in-season fruits. 

Brulee'd rosemary berry punch

 

A torched punch that is packed with rosemary flavour! 

Charred pineapple colada 

 

This is a grilled, non-alcoholic version of a fan favourite - the Pina colada. Orgeat is an almond syrup, a classic ingredient used in many tiki drinks. It has a nuttiness to it which will go so well with your tropical charred pineapple flavours. 

Smoked lemonade 

 

This is your classic lemonade but spruced up with some grilled lemons, freshly charred and providing some smokey and caramelized flavours.
