Rail Splitter Mocktail
The Rail Splitter mocktail is a vibrantly flavoured drink that provides a refined non-alcoholic alternative to cocktails. Its surprisingly basic yet flavourful mixture is suitable for summer gatherings due to the crisp, vivid profile which is universally appealing and easily customisable. Often served in a highball or Collins cocktail glass with plenty of ice, a lemon wheel or mint sprig creates an excellent and aromatic garnish, emphasising citrus flavours.
