8 Places To Get The Best Non-Alcoholic Cocktails In Malta
Sometimes, you want to have a bit of a detox, or maybe you’re that teetotal friend who doesn’t want to stick to water or a fizzy drink when you’re out with your friends at a bar.
Whatever the reason, give your liver a good rest with these creative mocktails.
PS: May we also remind you that Dry January is around the corner, so perhaps cocktails without the booze could be great a New Year’s Resolution. Just saying.
Here are the best place to get some awesome, alcohol-free cocktails on the island.
1. The Thirsty Barber
St. Julian’s
This 1920s prohibition style has a few pretty cool mocktail options.
The Bugsy Malone (ginger beer, cinnamon, orange, apple, built in a Hobstar glass and garnished with apple and rosemary); Tallulah (pineapple and orange with a dash of lime to round off the citrus elements); Blousie (ginger ale, fresh lime and hibiscus with a hint of rose syrup. Doubled strained over ice in a traditional cocktail jar and hisbicus flower).
And more.
2. Hammett’s Gastro Bar
Sliema
Just as great as regular cocktails… but without the hangover.
Hammett’s have a great choice of non-alcoholic cocktails which include the Pomegranate Faujito (pomegranate, agave syrup, fresh lime, mint, soda) or try the Mumbai mule with coconut milk, lime, cardamom & turmeric syrup and ginger beer).
3. Chalice Bar
St. Julian’s
The non boozy cocktails at Chalice come in the form of ‘The Clean & Lean (cucumber, basil, lemon and aloe vera) or The Cold Fashioned (coffee, aromatic bitters, orange bitters, cherry clove syrup, Maraschino cherries, orange zest) to name a few.
