Lemon-Lime Mocktail Kit
A bubbly bev for brunch & beyond | 4 Mocktails
Give your sodas and soft drinks an upgrade with this mocktail kit that’ll keep you cool all summer long. Poppi’s Lemon-Lime soda makes an ideal fizzy base for two different alcohol-free bevs. First: the Mango Jalapeño Fresharita, which finds the perfect balance of spicy jalapeño, sour lime, sweet mango, and—of course—a salted rim. Then, for the Freshelada, you’ll pair the lemon-lime soda with tomato, lime, and Worcestershire sauce for a slightly savory spin. Try ‘em both and see which one’s your favorite! *Nutrition values for 1 drink of Mango Jalapeno Fresharita is as follows: Calories 25, Total Fat 0g, Sat.

Cooking Steps
MANGO JALAPENO FRESHARITA (for 1 Drink): Wash and dry produce. Halve jalapeño; scrape out the ribs and seeds with a spoon. Slice into very thin half-moons. Quarter lime. Rub a lime wedge along the rim of a rocks glass, then dip rim into kosher salt. Open mango; strain ½ ounce juice into cocktail shaker or large glass. Add 1 TBSP mango pieces, a pinch of salt, and as much jalapeño as you like (we used 2 slices—use more if you like things extra spicy!). Using the end of a wooden spoon, muddle the mango-jalapeno mixture, stirring as you go. Add ice, ¾ ounce lime juice, and 3 ounces Lemon Lime Poppi; stir until chilled, 5-10 seconds. Strain into salted rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with lime wedge.
FRESHELADA (for 1 Drink): Wash and dry produce. Quarter lime. Rub a lime wedge along the rim of a rocks glass, then dip rim into kosher salt. Juice lime over a cocktail shaker or large glass until you have ¾ ounces juice. Add half the hot sauce, 1 tsp tomato paste, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine. Add ice and 3 ounces Lemon Lime Poppi; stir until chilled, 5-10 seconds.Strain into salted rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with lime wedge.
