  Liquid Gold Drink Recipe: A Cocktail & Mocktail for Luck & Prosperity
  Sip in the riches with this spiced almond, pineapple, and honey Liquid Gold drink. Delicious with or without alcohol, this recipe can be enjoyed as a gold rum cocktail. Or, alcohol-free sippers can choose between nonalcoholic spirits or chai tea for a gold mocktail. Inspired by the summer warmth and prosperity, a touch of gold cocktail glitter makes for the perfect liquid luck cocktail everyone can enjoy. Jump to: Liquid Gold Cocktail Recipe | Non-Alcoholic Liquid Gold Mocktail Recipe Magical Ingredients for a Liquid Gold Drink While this luscuious gold drink is a showstopper on looks and taste alone, it’s also inspired by the magic of ingredients — a little sparkle for the body and the spirit.  Expansive, fire-associated ingredients like allspice, nutmeg, and clove invite Jupiter’s blessings for luck and money. Juicy pineapple and alluring honey adds the solar, hospitality energy of summer for community and successful connections (and the color we want for a liquid gold cocktail). The main spirit of this golden drink is amaretto, an almond-flavored liqueur that adds money, prosperity, wisdom and success to the potion. Sometimes, amaretto is also made using apricot pits, in which case your liquid luck potion will have added magic for gaining favor and attraction. You have the option of dark rum, which is infused with spices, for added depth and a delicious, gold rum cocktail. For a magical touch, I recommend adding edible cocktail glitter for a luscious, gold dust drink. Gold Mocktail Nonalcoholic Substitutions With the explosion of zero alcohol spirits the last few years, it’s very easy to make a delicious nonalcoholic version. And, if you don’t have access to these zero-proof spirits, I also tested a tea option that should be accessible for everyone! For nonalcoholic spirits, I used: I’ve also heard good things about Lyre’s Amaretti. Instead of nonalcoholic spirits, you can also use chai tea. Since it is darker than amaretto, it may be more brown than gold-colored. Liquid Gold Cocktail Recipe Non-Alcoholic Liquid Gold Mocktail Recipe Looking for more drinks with cocktail glitter?

Inspired magic, the moon, and witchy pop culture, these magic mocktails will are a testament that your drink doesn’t need alcohol to be a powerful potion! In this blog, I’ll cover what a mocktail is, how mocktails are alchemy and magic, before diving into my top 7 magical mocktail recipes. This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and suggest. As an Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. To me, drinks are about connection and alchemy. Since many people in the magical space are sober or alcohol-conscious, I’ve been creating mocktail versions of my recipes since 2017. In fact, my partner is sober!  I believe everyone should have a seat at a table. So, while I highlight my top 7 nonalcoholic witches brew recipes, many more drinks in my blog have mocktail versions. So don’t be afraid to poke around! What is a mocktail? A mocktail is essentially a cocktail, but without the alcohol. By utilizing techniques from modern mixology, mocktails are a popular way to enjoy the ritual of drinking and elevated complex flavors—without alcohol. And especially with the influx of nonalcoholic or zero-proof spirits (my favorite being Lyre’s), this is more possible today then ever before. Some people dislike the “mock” part of mocktail, as though it is “mocking” or a lesser version of a cocktail in some way. So, others might use terms like zero-proof or nonalcoholic cocktails, or even free-spirited. But for others, mocktail has become its own term. By large, mocktail is the most popular and universally understood term. As far as what term to use, it’s really up to you. Alchemy & Magical Mocktails Magic Mocktails (and all potions, really) are alchemy. Non alcoholic witches brews combine separate ingredients, selected for their meaning, into something new and magical. Rather just being a sour citrus, a lemon becomes a symbol for the moon and used for cleansing and purification. It invites intentional connection to the natural world, and awareness of meaning and spiritual well being beyond just health benefits. Each ingredient tells a story and facilitates your life’s journey. When you imbibe a magic mocktail that is aligned to your intention through herbal ingredients, you invite that energy into your vessel, into your life. As your body breaks that witches brew mocktail down, you become infused with that energy. Nonalcoholic magic mocktails can bring a natural alcohol-free high and accompany ritual. My Top Non Alcoholic Witches Brew Below are my top, most popular magical mocktails. For each recipe I make, I try to make non alcoholic versions that are just as spellbinding (if not moreso)! These are magical brews inspired by witchy themes, like the moon, crystals, or even witchy pop culture. Artfully crafted with magic and intention, these recipes showcase how you can still have a best tasting mocktail without the alcohol.

But if you’re a bit mystical, you’d be please to know this recipe is great as a lunar lemonade. Not only is lemon associated with cleansing and uplifting, and coconut with nurturing, spirituality, and psychic ability, but they BOTH also associated with the moon. The color-changing properties of butterfly pea flower symbolizes transition and change, and feminine energy (like the phases of the moon). Lavender lends energies of peace and intuition, and soda water helps dilute the recipe and give it a sparkling, bubbly touch to raise our intentions. So whether you’re simply in the mood for magical lemonade, or looking to connect with the feminine, mystical, and transformational power of the moon, this butterfly pea flower lemonade is just the drink you need! Substitutions While you can totally forego the coconut milk and just stick to a traditional lemonade, it creates a more gradual color change while softening and smoothing the acidity of the fresh lemon. This recipe integrates butterfly pea flower through a simple syrup that is ready within 10 minutes. It includes optional lavender for more flavor dynamic, but you can also go without. You can find the syrup recipe here, or otherwise craft a butterfly pea flower syrup by steeping it in hot water for 5-10 minutes, and then stirring in an equal amount of sugar.
