You Won't Be Missing the Alcohol With These Mocktail Recipes

You don’t need alcohol to make a great drink. Mocktail recipes, or nonalcoholic mixed drinks, can be just as exciting and creative as their boozy counterparts. And you don’t need a lot of fancy ingredients to make a special (booze-free!) sipper. Become a mocktail mixologist at home by stocking your bar cart with homemade or store-bought syrups, your favorite fruits, fresh juice and plenty of club soda. Whether you prefer a fruity mocktail, like sangria, something bubbly like a flavored soda, a zesty refresher like a margarita or something warm like mulled cider, any one of our best-ever mocktail recipes will quench your thirst. Plus, there are plenty of chilly slushies and fresh lemonades to help beat the heat during warmer seasons.

It’s not uncommon to think about cutting back on alcohol (especially come Dry January or Sober October) and these sophisticated mocktail recipes are easy to whip up for any crowd or to sip solo. These delicious drinks can be enjoyed by all — and even better, the kids can drink them too!

With so many zero-proof options, such as nonalcoholic wines and refreshing sparkling waters, there’s no reason to leave anyone out. So, grab a pitcher and stir up one of these tasty beverages alongside any cocktail you serve at your next gathering – there’s options for all times of the year!
