4. Non-alcoholic French 75

Named after the small, but powerful French 75 canon (aka the 75-millimeter M1897 field gun), the delicate look of this beverage belies its champagne and gin combo. This recipe features a non-alcoholic twist on the French 75, made with fresh lemon juice, tonic water, and a splash of citrus bitters. It has a similar flavour profile, but packs a powerful punch!

5. Dirty Chai Latte

If you’re a chai lover but prefer to live on the caffeinated side, this dirty chai latte is just what you need. This beverage involves a shot of espresso for an extra jolt of caffeine and a deeper, richer flavour and texture. Coffee and tea in the same beverage might sound strange, but adding milk and a dash of cinnamon on top makes for a warm and comforting beverage. It’s the perfect alternative to hot chocolate if you are looking for something less sweet.

Use an alfi® carafe to keep your drinks cold or warm for hours while you enjoy a lazy afternoon with your friends.
