Rob’s Favourite Poolside Mocktails.

Who doesn’t love a cool, refreshing drink by the pool? Our Managing Director, Rob, certainly does - and he’s picked out his three favourite mocktail recipes to share with you. Whether you’re entertaining friends or simply relaxing after a swim, these easy-to-make drinks are guaranteed to hit the spot.

Rob’s poolside tip: After plenty of ‘research’ (a.k.a. dips in the pool), he reckons the perfect water temperature for sipping a drink is between 24°C – 30°C.

Berry Melon Slush

Rob swears by this fruity slushy for those really hot days.‍

Ingredients:

⅓ cup lemon juice

⅓ cup sugar

2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

2 cups fresh strawberries

1 cup ice

Lemonade (optional)

Method:
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour into glasses and add a splash of fizzy drink if desired. Serves 12.

Mint Margarita (Mocktail Style)

Light, zesty, and refreshing—Rob’s go-to when he wants a quick cool-down.

Ingredients:

A handful of mint leaves

⅓ cup lemon juice

⅔ cup sugar

⅓ cup ice cubes

Water as needed

Method:
Blend until the mint is fully combined. Coat glass rims with caster sugar and garnish with lemon slices. Serves 10.

Raspberry Quencher

Bold and tangy, this classic is Rob’s personal favourite.

Ingredients:

8 cups fresh raspberries

1½ cups sugar

⅔ cup cider vinegar

2½ cups cold water

2 litres chilled ginger ale

Method:
Combine raspberries, sugar, vinegar, and ½ cup water in a saucepan. Bring to boil, then simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Strain and chill. Before serving, add ginger ale and remaining water. Serves 14.

For Rob, the right poolside drink is the cherry on top of a relaxing swim. These three mocktails are easy, refreshing, and designed for sharing good times with your family and friends. Just like our pools, they’re all about making life simpler and more enjoyable.
