Re: Share your favorite mocktail recipes!

  • I made "summer brew" last weekend. I put non-alcoholic beer, some lemonade, sprite, and some lemons in a pitcher and brought it to a BBQ. A few people tried it--you could taste the beer--and nobody questioned it! 

    Ocean Spray actually makes "mocktails".

  • +1 for virgin mules! I also like bitters and soda with an orange twist because it feels like an aperol spritz.

    I accidentally discovered this when I had low supply in the early days of nursing DD and I was trying to give it a boost. Coconut water + pineapple juice! I'd say 2/3 coconut water, 1/3 juice. It tastes a lot like a Malibu Bay Breeze. Perfect for pool days!

    This sounds like my favorite  pink panty dropper aka skip and go naked..drink..which I will miss.
    Which has: lemonade. Beer, vodka..

    I might have to try your mocktail.
  • I drink a lot of cherry juice to combat soreness from the gym- in the summer I like it with sparkling water and vodka. This summer I'm doing it without the vodka... it's almost just as good.

    I made something similar today. I just boiled some shaved ginger in water with lots of sugar, strained the ginger pieces out and poured a little granulated sugar over them to make candied ginger and set aside.  Then mixed the ginger sugar water with fresh lime juice over ice with a splash of seltzer. Pure refreshness and a great tummy soother!  Im bringing a batch with vodka to July 4th and a secret alcohol free stash for
    myself.
  • Not really a mocktail but I bought a soda stream and the cranberry raspberry combo is my fav at the moment 
    plus good old fashioned non alcoholic beer

  • For a BBQ I attended yesterday, I blended watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, lime, and mint. Very refreshing!

    That sounds good, was it more like a smoothy?
  • @Chawk17 - yes, it was! I could have strained it more, but didn't have the time. Some people added either vodka or champagne which apparently tasted good, too!

  • I'm going to a BBQ on saturday. One of my DH students parents invited us over because apparently they want to see "Mr. ___drink ":)
    I think I will try that smoothie:)
