The Best Mocktails To Try This Dry July

Harajuku Slip at Hello Beasty"Like a Traffic Light for adults, Hello Beasty's Harajuku Slip is a combination of lemongrass syrup, cranberry and lemon juice and a layer of Japanese blue tea. The tea creates an ombre effect when poured on top, with a bit of soda for fizz, a Hello Beasty-branded ice cube and a fresh viola to top off the look."  Johanna Thornton, deputy editor

The Greener Placebo at Depot"I think it might be a hangover from summer, but the taste of mint and cucumber is a refreshing palate-cleanser that never gets old especially with fish sliders, oysters and salty fries. Depot's The Greener Placebo is made with Seedlip Garden 180, and you can really taste the botanicals of this non-alcoholic gin, making it a really easy and tasty drink."  Dan Ahwa, creative and fashion director

Citrus & Spice at Euro"Don't let its sweet appearance deceive you, this non-alcoholic cocktail is delightfully tart. It melds Seedlip Spice 94 with flavours of lemon, cardamom and blueberry, and is an uplifting match for Euro's Gallic winter menu." Emma Gleason, commercial editor

'Gin' n Tonic at Stafford Road Wine Bar"This wine bar clearly knows its way around a cellar but they also do a mean faux gin 'n' tonic. Their beautifully presented concoction comes with non-alcoholic gin alternative, Ecology & Co. The Asian Spice 'G&T' comes with juniper berries, dehydrated orange, edible flowers and Fever Tree Italian blood orange soda and tastes as good as it looks."  Rebecca Barry Hill, writer

Citrus & Spice at Burger Burger"I'm a sucker for citrus, so this Mocktail Month I plan on getting my non-alcoholic fix with the Citrus & Spice from Burger Burger. It's crafted with Seedlip Grove, passionfruit and lemon for a burst of fruity flavour and will taste all the more delicious with a burger and fries." Ashleigh Cometti, beauty editor
