Plum Ginger Mocktail

The perfect mocktail recipe for autumn

If you're looking for a great recipe for a delicious autumn mocktail, look no further than this refreshing Plum Ginger Mocktail. It's easy to make and is perfect for sipping on a cool fall evening.

For this mocktail recipe I made a homemade plum simple syrup with Italian plums from my friend's backyard. This syrup comes together in a snap, and can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for 10-14 days. I especially love the plum color for fall. Depending on the varietal of plums you use, yours may range from pinkish hue to a deeper red. The flavor is incredible - like plum cobbler!
