Minty Grape Cocktail with Jubes Recipes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup red grapes (halved)
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1–2 tsp simple syrup using Jans Organic Coconut Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup Jubes Nata de Coco Grape
- Ice cubes
- Jans Sparkling Selection to top off
- Optional: 1.5 oz white rum, gin, or vodka
Instructions
Muddle the Base
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the grape halves, fresh mint leaves, and lime juice. Using a muddler, gently press down and twist to release the grape juice and the mint’s aromatic oils. This step builds the flavor foundation of your cocktail.
Add Sweetness & Jubes
To sweeten the cocktail naturally, make a quick simple syrup using Jans Organic Coconut Sugar:
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup Jans Organic Coconut Sugar with 1/4 cup water.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let cool. This is your coconut sugar simple syrup.
Once cooled, stir 1–2 teaspoons of the coconut sugar syrup into the muddled grape and mint base. This adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with the grapes.
Next, add 1/2 cup Jubes Grape coconut gel cubes. These chewy bites give the drink a playful texture. If you’re making an alcoholic version, now is the time to pour in 1.5 oz white rum, gin, or vodka.
Chill the Drink
Fill the shaker or glass with ice. If using a shaker, seal and shake for 10–15 seconds until well chilled. If stirring in a glass, mix gently to avoid bruising the mint.
Serve It Up
Strain or pour the drink into a chilled cocktail glass over fresh ice. Make sure to include some nata jelly pieces in the glass, these are the highlight of the drink!
Top & Garnish
Top with your choice of Jans Sparkling Prebiotic Drink (with or without collagen) for a light, functional fizz, or Jans Sparkling Fruit Juice Drink for added fruity sweetness or any club soda you like. Garnish with extra grape halves and a fresh mint sprig.
