Mocktails

Sora’s Garden is a refreshing and floral non-alcoholic cocktail inspired by the awakening of Helsinki in spring. Named after my Shiba Inu, Sora, this mocktail captures the essence of early park strolls, blooming flowers, and those first rays of sun after a long Finnish winter. It blends delicate Japanese flavors like yuzu and sakura with Nordic ingredients such as bilberry and lemon balm to create a beautifully aromatic drink that’s both grounding and uplifting. With a balance of tart, floral, and herbaceous notes, it’s ideal for brunches, spring parties, or simply slowing down and soaking in the season. Whether you’re skipping alcohol or just want a mindful sipping moment, Sora’s Garden delivers that refreshing “ahhh” with every sip — no hangover, no regrets, just pure spring in a glass.
