Mocktails & Music: Making Healthy, Kid-friendly Mocktails (Non-Alcoholic Cocktails) and a little Music on Wine Glasses
In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran concoct and create in the kitchen, aiming for some mouthwatering mocktails.  They also try their hands at making music with wine glasses.   Wine Glass Music: Did you Know?   Fall is here and that means that we’re coming to that part of the year when families gather and big dinners are served.  That also means that there will likely be wine glasses on the table.  These also double as musical instruments.  In the 18th century, a musical instrument made of glasses was introduced.  It allowed the musician to create songs simply by rubbing a finger gently along the rim of the glasses.  You can do the same thing with the wine glasses on the Thanksgiving table.  The friction caused by your wet finger sliding along the rim causes the sides of the glass to quiver just enough to cause a vibration to be transmitted to the air.  That results in a sound much like a musical note.  The amount of water in the glass determines the degree of vibration and therefore impacts the pitch of the note.   Music-Worthy Mocktails   When they aren’t exploding in our faces, mocktails are pretty magnificent.  Whether you’re serving them to friends or just enjoying them on your own, you can create some pretty fantastic (and some not-so-tasty) concoctions by combining your favorite liquids and spices.  For this episode, River made a Moscow Mule Mocktail, while Terran got super creative and made what we are calling a Sweet & Spiced Pineapple Mocktini. Moscow Mule Mocktail Ingredients 3 second squirt of lime juice 1 TBS agave syrup 1/4 cup club soda 3-4 mint leaves (torn, optional) 3/4 cup Ginger Beer (make sure it’s non alcoholic) crushed ice   Directions In the bottom of the cup squirt lime juice, then add agave syrup and club soda.  Add 2-4 mint leaves and fill the cup halfway with ice Pour ginger beer over the concoction, until just below the rim. DO NOT SHAKE IN SHAKER - it will explode on you, like it did on River! Garnish with more mint and a lime wedge Enjoy! Sweet & Spiced Pineapple Mocktini Ingredients ½ C crushed pineapple 6-8 large ice cubes 1 squirt of lime juice 2 tsp honey 1/4C seltzer   Directions Place crushed pineapple, honey, and lime juice and ice in a blender Blend until smooth Add seltzer.  Ensure the blender is properly sealed and pulse 3 times. Pour into martini glass and garnish Enjoy! We want to know all of your favorite mocktail recipes. Let us know!
