Freixenet Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine Mocktail Recipe

I like making this mocktail because it’s festive, and I don’t have to use any alcohol. The recipe uses simple kitchen tools, fresh herbs, and a couple of spices to build a crisp, refreshing flavor.

It’s easy to enjoy with friends—or honestly, just for myself.

Equipment

I keep things simple, so I don’t end up buying special gadgets. A few basic kitchen items do the trick for this recipe.

• Mixing glass or shaker for combining flavors
• Muddler or wooden spoon to press herbs and release oils
• Measuring jigger or tablespoon to keep amounts accurate
• Fine mesh strainer to remove herb or spice pieces
• Cutting board and knife for slicing fruit or ginger
• Tall glass or stemmed flute for serving
• Small saucepan if I want to make a quick spice syrup

These tools help me keep things tidy and make the drink look and taste its best.

Ingredients

I go for fresh, simple ingredients that let the alcohol-free sparkling wine shine. Fresh herbs and spices make the mocktail more fragrant and layered.

• 1 bottle Freixenet Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine
• ½ cup fresh orange juice
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 cinnamon stick
• A few sprigs of fresh mint
• A few basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• Ice cubes
• Orange or lemon slices for garnish

The herbs and spices add depth, but they don’t overpower the bright, bubbly base.

Instructions

I follow a few easy steps to bring it all together. The process is quick, but each step really adds something to the flavor.

• Add ginger and cinnamon stick to a small saucepan with ½ cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then let it cool.
• In a mixing glass, muddle mint and basil lightly to release their oils.
• Add orange juice, the cooled spice mixture, and honey or syrup if you want it sweeter. Stir it up.
• Strain into a serving glass filled with ice.
• Top slowly with Freixenet Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine.
• Garnish with citrus slices and a sprig of mint.

This way, the bubbles stay lively and the flavors stay balanced.

Notes

If I muddle the herbs too hard, the drink can get bitter—so I go easy. Fresh mint is my usual pick, but basil gives it a fun twist if I’m in the mood for something different.

Sometimes I let the cinnamon steep longer for a warmer flavor. If I want it lighter, I just skip the syrup.

The recipe’s flexible, so I just use whatever herbs and spices I’ve got on hand.

Tasting Notes

I take my first sip and notice the gentle bubbles right away. They feel light and refreshing—not too sharp, which is nice.

The sparkle really lifts the flavors and gives the drink a lively vibe.

The flavor leans toward crisp fruit. I pick up notes of green apple and pear, and there’s this little hint of citrus that sneaks in.

These flavors stay clean and bright, so it’s easy to keep sipping.

There’s also a slight floral tone hanging out in the background. It’s soft, not overpowering, just adding a bit of depth to the fruity taste.

The finish? It’s smooth and dry. No heavy aftertaste, so honestly, I just want another sip.

For me, the balance between sweetness and acidity really works. It’s not too sweet, but it’s not sharp either.

That balance makes it a pretty solid base for a mocktail, if you ask me.
