Mocktails - share your favorites?

It's summer cocktail season and we shouldn't have to suffer. I made a non-alcoholic Mango Mule the other day that was delicious (recipe here: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/drinks/how-to/g785/best-mocktail-recipes/), so I thought I'd share it and see what else people can recommend.

Cheers! :)

  • Cherry juice and sprite- I think that's a Shirley Temple? Yum!

  • Whole Foods Italian soda cut with soda water. Add ice and lime.
  • La Croix. Reminds me of a mocktail.

  • @Dani0329 me too! And I've branched out to Dasani and the target brand flavored sparkling waters, too for more flavors. Have you tried La Cola lacroix? I haven't but think it sound cool!
    I do like to put lacroix and grape juice together in a wine glass to remind me of drinking wine.

  • Thanks for posting that link @muchwanted! Those all sound amazing. Definitely going to try some of those.  
  • @williams-jen I haven't heard of that! I'll have to do some research. La Croix has become one of my cravings. It helps to settle my stomach!

  • I love ginger beer and lime , ( the best brand is Cock N' Bull) I think. It's really gingery which also helps a little bit with my tummy ! 
  • Has anyone been able to find a non alcoholic wine that doesn't just taste like Welch's Grape Juice? I love the bite of wine and the FRE stuff isn't going to cut it

    Never. The closest I've come is pomegranate juice with a splash of lime seltzer. It doesn't taste anything like wine, but it's delicious and the right color, so in a wine glass part of your brain gets tricked.

  • My favorite summer drink is vodka in sparkling water with a splash of cherry juice. So now I'm just having it without the vodka.

  • @karacc18 and @muchwanted I've had one that has a little more bite than the Fre - the brand is called Ariel

  • @jakobaby I do the same! So nice since they have a few varieties. Trader Joe's does as well. The grapefruit or pink lemonades can actually pass for a Paloma, greyhound, or vodka lemonade if anyone is still trying to hide their news!
