April 27th, 2018 Drink of the Week
My brother-in-law made so many fancy mocktails when visiting recently we gave him the nickname ‘Dr Mock’! This one was a standout. Really fun to drink something so rich with flavours and with many garnishes!
Ingredients:
1 prune sliced in two
2 slices of apple
Salt
Sprig rosemary
Apple juice
4 cardamom pods
Cinnamon
Ice cubes
Method:
First put the apple slices and prune pieces onto a skewer (prunes at the bottom) and sprinkle with a little salt.
Then into a cocktail shaker (or large jar with a lid) put the ice cubes, apple juice, cardamom pods and cinnamon.
Shake vigorously and leave to infuse for 10 mins or so.
Place your skewer into a martini glass and pour over the flavoured apple juice.
Garnish with the rosemary sprig and another shake of cinnamon.
Enjoy!
Listen to psychologist and addiction clinician Simone talk about what attracted her to alcohol, learning to accept her introverted self, the advice she gives clients who are trying to quit, and the wonderful surfing metaphor she uses to describe the transition to a sober life.

Someone was trying to tell me the other day that ‘sober’ is a negative word with staid and boring connotations.
