Mocktails

Anyone have some good mocktail recipes? I'm craving something delicious with OJ....

No, but I had a delicious one the other night at a bachelorette party! I don't know what was in it but it tasted like a cactus cooler.

Not off hand, but look up the menu of an Ann Arbor, MI bar called the "Jolly Pumpkin" 

they have a huge (and delicious) mocktail collection which I got to sample this weekend!  My fav: the mock mohito with Thai basil.

This recipe for non-alcoholic sangria is pretty good.  I was in the habit of having a nice glass of sangria every evening after work, so luckily a more pregnancy-friendly version exists!

1/4 c. sugar
1 c. orange juice
1/2 fresh lemon, sliced
1/2 fresh orange, sliced
1 sm. apple or peach, cut into wedges
4 c. club soda or seltzer water
4 c. grape juice

 

In large pitcher, combine orange juice, sugar, and grape juice. Add cut fruit and stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until cool and add seltzer water or club soda just before serving.

I can't think of anything with OJ in it, but I do make mojitos (or what I call fojitos!)  I use fresh mint, lime, and sugar - muddle them together.  Then add ice, lemon/lime seltzer water, and some pre-mixed mojito mixer from the grocery store.  It is delicious and refreshing!!!!

My mom makes a great frozen slushy drink with seven up (or ginger ale) and orange juice and lime juice (or lemon juice).  It's the hit at all of her baby showers.  You just mix the juices and then add the soda.  She uses the frozen concentrate.  Really yummy.  She's even been known to add some ice cream to it.

This is the same recipe I have. Make sure to use green apples. I used golden delicious. (They don't turn brown.)
