Musky spice-laced mocktails make a great non-alcoholic alternative if you’re entertaining a varied bevy of guests this winter. The crew at Square Root London, makers of some of the most delicious hand-made sodas in the city, devised this spicy little number using their fresh root ginger beer. It makes a welcome change from the mulled wine you overdid at Christmas.

Tip:

  • The syrup keeps for a week or so in a container. Try it mixed with Square Root Apple Soda for a spicy winter refresher.

If you liked this recipe, then try Square Root’s bergamot ‘nojito’ – it’s sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or dinner party. You can also read an interview with Ed Taylor, founder of Square Root .
