Virgin Belgian Orange Blossom

Name: Virgin Belgian Orange Blossom
Ingredients: 3 thin Slices of orange (peel on); 2 teaspoon Almond Syrup; 2 ounce Lemon lime soda; 1 ounce Pink grapefruit juice; 1/2 ounce Lemonade; 1 ounce Seltzer water; 2 dash Cocktail bitter

This is a non-alcoholic version of a unique drink idea from Brussels. Lemon-lime soda replaces the gin for a mellow, neutral base and the addition of almond syrup to the oranges has an almost candy-like quality. Dry citrus notes and a bit of fizz save the drink from being cloyingly sweet. You’ll never miss the alcohol in this virgin cocktail!
