A Maple‑Infused World Cocktail Day: Cocktails & Mocktails to Try

  • Written by: Times Media



With World Cocktail Day coming up on the 13th of May, many people will be looking for fresh ideas to shake up at home, whether they prefer something fruity, sparkling or alcohol free. I’m sharing a set of maple infused cocktails and mocktails on behalf of 
Maple from Canada Australia that bring a naturally sweet twist to the occasion. 

For something bright and summery, try the Maple Spicy Peach Cocktail. It blends pure Canadian maple syrup with peach nectar, lime and a gentle chilli kick for a drink that feels both refreshing and warm. 



If you are hosting friends, the White Maple Sangria is an easy crowd pleaser. It combines white wine, maple syrup, citrus and fresh fruit for a lighter take on classic sangria that still feels celebratory. 

 

For those who love a richer flavour profile, the Maple Espresso Martini is a smooth, slightly sweet take on the modern classic. Maple syrup replaces the usual sugar syrup and adds a deeper, more rounded finish. 

 

If you are looking for alcohol free options, the Mojito Maple Mocktail is a crisp and refreshing choice. Mint, lime and pure maple syrup come together for a drink that feels bright and uplifting. 

 

Another great non-alcoholic option is the Piña Colada Maple Mocktail. It mixes pineapple, coconut and maple syrup for a creamy, tropical drink that still feels light and easy to sip.
