McPherson – Non-alcoholic Cocktail

A delight, I guarantee it. This McPherson is a slightly tangy non-alcoholic cocktail, but very, very pleasant, refreshing, and super easy to prepare. I have no doubt you will love it. Serve it as an appetizer, and your guests will appreciate it too. You might even consider increasing all the doses and preparing a large jug so everyone can pour the amount they want.
