Luckily we have just the thing. For something utterly refreshing, that will make you forget there’s not a drop of gin involved, we present the Yuzu and Cucumber Fizz, a delectable mix of crunchy cucumber and zingy mint that will have your tongue tingling.

The recipe comes straight from Japanese restaurant Yen, which specialises in traditional soba noodles and of course, a delicious cocktail menu. It can be visited on London’s The Strand. We spoke to Ibi Issolah, General Manager at Yen, who said: “Our mocktails are popular choices during the summer season. The heat can be so dehydrating in itself that many of our customers choose to avoid the dehydrating effects of alcohol and instead opt for a refreshing, non-alcoholic cocktail such as our Yuzu Cucumber Spritz.”

We reckon this would make the perfect non-alcoholic option to offer your friends who aren’t drinking next time you have them round. We can just imagine being sat back in the garden, enjoying a cold glass of Yuzu and Cucumber Fizz on a Sunday afternoon.

This alcohol free spritz is the taste of summer you’ve been waiting for
