Mocktails & Meals: Enchanted Garden Edition

Another month, another mocktail and meal pairing. This September, we’re leaning into lush, dramatic, and herbaceous flavors. We’ll be sipping an elegant twist on a Lychee Martini, a grounded citrus-forward tea-based drink, and a sparkling ready-to-drink that tastes like a garden in bloom. What’s missing? A beautiful meal to complement the flavors and round out the experience.

First Blush
In the glass: Aplós Arise, Namai Lychee Juice, Ginger Lemon Juice

For an appetizer: Watermelon, feta & basil salad with pita chip croutons. Refreshing and salty-sweet to match the lychee’s brightness.
And for the main dish: Ricotta & spinach shells with a velvety rosé sauce. Comforting, rich, but light enough to let the drink take center stage.
Lastly, dessert: Kiwi sorbet drizzled with hot caramel fudge. A cool finish with a playful contrast of tropical tang and deep sweetness.

Gardener’s Grove
In the glass: Aplós Arise, brewed & chilled Genmaicha tea, Dram Citrus & Blossoms

Let’s start with a cute appy: Roasted carrot and cumin hummus with seeded crackers. Earthy notes to echo the tea, citrus zest to lift the pairing.
For the main attraction: Miso-glazed eggplant with sesame rice. Deep umami layers balanced by bright citrus botanicals.
For a treat: Lemon thyme shortbread cookies. Buttery, herbal, and just a touch of tart to tie it all together.

Asian Pear & Agave Sparkler from Herb & Orchid
In the glass: Herb & Orchid Asian Pear & Agave Sparkler

To start us off: Shaved fennel and pear salad with honey-lime vinaigrette. Crisp, fresh, and perfectly in sync with the sparkling pear notes.
Our main dish: Grilled chicken with rosemary and garlic, served alongside curly fries. Herbaceous, savory, and cozy dish for our featured RTD.
And something sweet: Almond cake with whipped cream and poached pears. Soft, nutty, and layered with fruit to echo the drink’s core flavor.

And those are just a few ideas. Sound yum? Let us know if you give them a try. Cooking up something different? We’d love to see it! Tag us on Insta with your mocktail and meal pairings, and we’ll be sure to share the love on our page.
