Scuppernong Mocktail


With fresh scuppernongs now hitting markets here in the South, it is a perfect time to explore the possibilities of this flavorful grape.  For this mocktail simply muddle five scuppernongs in a glass and add a few ice cubes.  Pour chilled sparkling water over the concoction, mix, and enjoy!

For a real cocktail add an ounce and a half of Oronoco or Ten Cane rum and you are good to go!  The smoky flavor of these two rums will perfectly complement the scuppernong.  You can garnish with an orange or lime slice for a classy touch.
