Summer Party Mocktail
Best in Season nectarines are perfect for summer mocktails to enjoy with all family members including kids.
Juicy and extra large nectarines, a dash of lemon and lime, mint garnish and complete with soda water. Delicious and refreshing.
For an adult version, you could add a shot of gin or prosecco to each glass instead of soda water and make it a cocktail!
