Alcohol-free with "Esprit de Provence"
Floral notes of lavender, rosemary and vanilla
The classic Campari is a bitter-sweet aperitif with herbal and citrus flavors that are well suited for spritz drinks or Negroni variations. If you are looking for a gentler, herbal and alcohol-free Campari alternative, Lav’a Belle’s aperitif could be the perfect fit! While the classic has a strong bitterness with orange notes, Lav’a Belle has a softer, more floral note thanks to lavender, rosemary and vanilla.
Lav'a Belle Sour
Ingredients, non-alcoholic
6 cl Lav’a Belle
3 cl fresh lemon juice
1.5 cl sugar syrup
1/2 egg white (optional: vegan protein powder)
Ice cubes
Preparation
First shake all the ingredients vigorously without ice cubes, then a second time with ice cubes. Then strain onto new ice cubes in a glass. The egg white is optional and does not change the taste of the drink much – with ice white it is creamier in consistency and slightly smoother, without egg white it is slightly thinner and fresher.

Alcohol-free: cocktail or spritz?
Is this still a cocktail, or almost a spritz again? You can serve the Nice Mule in a long drink glass or a stemmed glass, depending on how you interpret it. Only the classic metal cup would be a shame in this case because of the color.
Lav'a Belle - Nice Mule
Ingredients, non-alcoholic
5 cl Lav’a Belle
15 cl ginger beer
1 cl elderflower syrup
Ice cubes
Preparation
Add the ice cubes, ginger beer, Lav’a Belle and elderflower syrup to a glass of your choice and stir gently once.
