The Genovia Mocktail (Original Recipe)

Another mocktail with a movie tie-in. This riff on the Ramona was created while watching “The Princess Diaries”, so it gets it’s name from the fictional country presided over by Julie Andrews (or Queen Clarisse Rinaldi).

This mocktail can use bottled orange juice in a pinch, but if you have the time, we recommend juicing the oranges for maximum flavor! The blueberry, on the other hand, need not be juiced. There is a great line of fruit syrups at most liquor stores (links provided in the recipe below) that are good for both the blueberry and passion fruit syrups.

Make sure to double strain this mocktail to remove any un-wanted ice chips and keep it smooth as silk!

Cheers!

4 oz Fresh Orange Juice

4 oz Pineapple Juice

1½ oz Blueberry Syrup

1 oz Passion Fruit Syrup

All all ingredients to a cocktail shaker

Add ice and shake for 8-10 seconds

Double strain into a chilled low ball glass (no ice)

Garnish with three cocktail cherries

The Ramona – Original Mocktail

We’ve spent many hours introducing our daughter to movies we love, from Empire Records to Serendipity. But this drink was created one evening when she was introducing us to one her favorite movies. Namely, “Scott Pilgrim vs the World”. I created this mocktail for her that evening and empowered her to name it. You don’t have to fight the “seven evil exes” to drink this one though! Cheers!
