Hey foodies!
Welcome to the rejuvenating read on your favorite page. Enjoy energetic drinks with us today. Mocktails are a perfect replacement for cocktails. You can experiment with different flavors in cocktails as well as mocktails. The only difference between both beverages is- one is an alcoholic, whereas another is a teetotaler.
Cheers, Let’s Sip!
1. Blueberry Rosemary
This one is so easy that you can try making it at home too. Count on some blueberry and rosemary, and mash it utmost you can. Shake well with lemon drops, honey, and ice cubes. A healthy mocktail that is fizzy, not dizzy, is worth a try.
2. Mojito
You must have heard and even tried it, moo-hee-too! A popular drink served at weddings, functions, parties, and daily gatherings. The sweet-tangy punch of mojito appeals to all groups of people. Are you thinking of experimenting at home? Grab a glass, and squeeze drops of lemon, sugar, and soda. Mix it, Feel It!
3. Shirley Temple
A fantastic cutesy story lies underneath this mocktail. A renowned American child actress named Shirley Temple was the reason behind the invention and memory lane of many toddlers. For this fascinating drink, grab grenadine or replace it with pomegranate juice. Ginger ale, if you don’t find it in your locality, no worries, cook it. Stir it with lime juice and garnish with cherries.
4. Sangria
Fun and vitamins in a single drink. Sangria consists of oodles of fruits such as oranges, limes, apples, lemons, and white and green grapes. The beverage is fizzy, not dizzy. Just blend them right with lime and grape juice to gain max nutrients. Chill & beat the heat with sangria.
5. Virgin Cosmopolitan
Cosmopolitan is a crazy cocktail drink one can try the mocktail version too. Due to its enriching flavors, it also suits pregnant ladies. Collect cranberry, orange, lime, and club soda to create an attractive cosmopolitan. You’ll be high on heels with its bright pink texture embellished with orange skin.
6. Margarita
If tanginess is your way, a margarita is a perfect choice! Virgin margarita is an all-time reliable drink. With two core ingredients in hand, the margarita is ready to serve. Lime and oranges are heroes where sugar syrup and soda play a supporting role. With Virgin Margarita in your hand, feel fizzy, not dizzy.
7.
Spiced Honey Punch
Honey & spicy are two opposite terms. But trust us, this fusion will stun your taste buds. First and foremost, pure honey. Nutmeg, ginger, and star anise for a spicy punch. Heat them carefully for a few minutes. After settling to room temperature, infuse it with pomegranate, lime, orange, or apple juice. Add ice cubes and sparkling water to serve cold. If planning for a hot drink, mix ingredients at once and strain them.
8. Watermelon Agua Fresca
A healthy drink for eternity. Remember the last time you had watermelon juice? Watermelon Agua Fresca is on similar lines. As its name says, we need watermelons. If seeds irritate you, throw them. Lime juice for sour touch and a bit of sugar if you like. Sprinkle mint at the end, and interest the drink.
9. Pina Colada
Another admired mocktail drink is Pina Colada. It is a hit drink for all sorts of celebrations. Why wouldn’t it be? Nothing can be easier than making one. Fresh pineapples and coconut milk in a jar share a fizzy, not dizzy vibe. Pina Colada is ready at your fingertip. Some love to quirk with bananas. What are you going to blend?
10. Peach Punch
Peach Punch is also called Sparkling Peach. Peach fruit is freshly available from April to May. So best to try Peach Punch mocktails during summer. Blend peaches with water, fizzy soda, and lemon. That’s it! Top it with a lemon slice or peach or any fruit you wish.
11. Choco Mocktail
A chocolate mocktail is a must-try, unlike regular soda drinks. There are infinite variations to this. Allow us to share our beloved one. Mix a bar of chocolate (flavored chocolate preferable) with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle the glass with chocolate syrup, add mixture, and grate more chocolates & candies. I desire dark chocolate. What’s your preference?
12. Rainbow Coconut Water
If you are a fan of coconut water or not, I’m not sure. In both cases, you must try Rainbow Coconut Water. Coconut water is an eminent booster during hot days. Adding ample fruits inside offers a fizzy, not dizzy. You got it right, coconut water plus all kinds of available fruit with flavored carbonated water and a few ice cubes.
13. Mimosa
A classic mimosa is a mix of alcohol and orange juice. In place of alcohol, pour flavored carbonated water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine. You can also substitute orange juice with lemon.
14. Tahitian Coffee
Coffee is constantly gaining fame, so why not try it as a mocktail? A bizarre combo of lime, orange, guava, honey, passion fruit, and coffee concentrate offer a divine taste. It’s a rich drink covered with orchid flowers, so let’s catch up on a coffee date!
15. Julep
Julep/Virginia Dram was a medicinal drink switched to a mandatory Kentucky Derby drink. This traditional drink doesn’t demand a bunch of ingredients. Just ginger ale, mint, sugar, water, and ice are enough. To savor real Julep, replace ginger ale with non-alcoholic bourbon. If preparing for a party, you can store the syrup to avoid the last-minute rush.
16. Hibiscus Iced Tea
Hibiscus mocktail is another star on the list with a handful of requirements. Your regular hibiscus tea dwells pleasingly with water, lime, and seltzer water. A chilled Hibiscus Iced Tea is fizzy, not dizzy, especially on sunny days.
17. Mai Tai
Are guests on the way? Want to impress with a funky drink? Mai Tai could turn the table in a few minutes. Make sure you have orange, lime, and pineapple handy. Else you can make a juice of them, add almond syrup and store it. When you are about to serve, add half a glass of juice mix and the rest half with soda. Grenadine and fruit always enhance Mai Tai.
18. Blue Lagoon
I can’t forget my childhood days adoring this blue drink at parties. Drinking Blue Lagoon, consisting of lime juice, syrup for a blue shade, and Sprite, had always felt fizzy, not dizzy. Although the mocktail has colored syrup, it’s ok to have it occasionally. Blue Lagoon can be the savior if you want to make hassle-free drinks.
19. Mermaid Water
If you are visiting Hawaii, do try the mermaid water. Creating at home needs specific ingredients. Grab a long glass, choke it with ice cubes, and pour half a pineapple juice. Now, make a thick layer of Berry Flavored – Gatorade Zero Sugar. Fill the rest of the glass with Gatorade Frost Glacier Freeze. The perfect layering will surprise you with magical color.
20. Appletini
The ultimate mocktail drink in today’s read is Appletini. If you break the name, you’ll easily guess the key ingredient. Correct, it’s an apple drink! Fuse apple juice with lemon and sugar syrup (you can try apple syrup too). PS – Hook fresh apple slices to the glass because an apple a day keeps a doctor away.
