Ginger Coffee mocktail
------------------------
A definite Saturday morning pick-me-up. It is very mildly ginger-ish. Like its light tan colour, its flavours are understated with polite sweetness and hints of ginger alongside familiar coffee flavours.
You will need:
l 20ml of ginger syrup
l 90ml of coffee, chilled
l 40ml of mocha syrup (available from most supermarkets)
l 30ml of milk
l 30ml of evaporated milk
Blend all the ingredients together and serve in a tall glass or mug.
Tip: Try this recipe with hot coffee brewed with a few pieces of ginger. A real kicker!

Coffee Apricot Cooler mocktail
--------------------------------
Yes, I know. It is a rather odd combination, putting apricot into coffee.
Admittedly, it is a fine balance but if this balance is disturbed, I suspect it can go seriously wrong.
Nevertheless, this one is neither here nor there when it comes to sweetness and coffee strength.
It is simply a fun drink, cold and creamy with hints of coffee.
You will need:
l 3/4 cups of coffee, chilled
l half a cup of apricot nectar, concentrated juice
l 1/3 cup of milk
l half a pint of coffee ice cream
Blend slowly the coffee, apricot nectar and milk. Then add the ice cream and blend slowly till smooth and pour into a tall glass.

Mocha Frappes mocktail
-----------------------
I suspect children and those with their sweet tooth still intact will love this one.
It has the flavours of childhood melded together. Teeth-chattering sweetness, malty and chocolaty.
Alas, the coffee flavours are a little lost but all you need to do is up the coffee dosage!
You will need:
l 30ml of sugar syrup
l 40ml of mocha syrup
l 90ml of coffee, chilled
l 3 tsp of Horlicks powder
l 2 tsp of Milo powder
l half a tsp of instant coffee powder
Blend it all together and serve in a tall glass. Spray on some whipped cream and drizzle some chocolate sauce on top. Voila!

------------------------------
Ah, a favourite! It has everything I look for. Simplicity in flavours and simple to prepare.
This is for serious coffee drinkers who like their coffee black and sugarless.
This one is bitter and showcases the familiar flavours of coffee with whiffs of alcohol. You will need:

l half a mesaure of Southern Comfort
l a dash of creme de cacao liquer
l a cup of coffee, chilled
Shake together all the ingredients and serve in a short tumbler with some ice cubes.
