Two Mocktail Recipes for Robin Roberts’ Bachelorette Party

Robin Roberts and Amber Laign are adding some excitement to their upcoming wedding festivities with a live bachelorette celebration featuring two delicious mocktails inspired by their favorite cocktails.

Celebrity chef Carla Hall joined Robin Roberts, the co-anchor of “Good Morning America,” and her partner Amber Laign in the studio to demonstrate how to create and serve these two non-alcoholic beverages.

Since Robin Roberts enjoys spicy margaritas and Amber Laign favors espresso martinis, Carla Hall crafted non-alcoholic versions of each drink.

1 1/2 ounces of espresso, or one shot

1/2 ounce of dark honey simple syrup (recipe below)

1 ounce of non-alcoholic coffee liqueur or coffee syrup

1 ounce of zero-proof vodka (optional)

Coffee beans or chocolate-covered espresso beans, for garnish

1 teaspoon of coffee extract

To make the honey syrup: In a small sauce pot over medium heat, combine the honey, water, and coffee extract. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat. Allow to cool before using.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Pour in the espresso, honey simple syrup, and coffee liqueur.

Cover and vigorously shake for 30 seconds.

Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with coffee beans or chocolate-covered espresso beans.
