I love sweet drinks and I’m very happy that no-booze cocktails are so very trendy right now! Even the New York Times has published a post about alcohol-free cocktails that includes 6 mocktail drinks from hip places with recipes to sip along! In case you missed it, you can find the report here: Six New Cocktails, Alcohol Not Included. Cool, eh?
Now, with summer approaching I think it’s a great time to share my very favorite recipes for sweet freshness. Here are 13 easy recipes for great alcohol-free cocktails, also known as mocktails! No booze, just the fun of a cocktail!
Happy hour all day long! No hangover, just freshness and health benefits from staying hydrated. And think of all the lovely nutrients you’ll get from all the fresh fruits. Woah. Healthy eating can be so cool.
These mocktails are also an easy way to have healthy food secretly sneaking into your family’s diet!
13 Mocktails to try this summer: fresh and easy non-alcohol cocktail recipes
Let’s start with something classic! Iced Tea is a great refreshing drink for hot days. Here is Raspberry Sweet Tea by Canadian Cooking Adventures.
Tasteful Venture shares a recipe for Pineapple Mojitos. I love pineapples and they are healthy, too. They contain enzymes that facilitates fat digestion and therefore those mojitos make a great dessert!
Are you a mojito lover? You can have all the mint, lemon and lime in a Nojito (Alcohol-Free Mojitos) as shared by In Katrina’s Kitchen.
Strawberry, Lime, Cucumber and Mint Infused Water by Wholefully is a simple recipe that makes a great hydrating summer drink that you can drink ALL.THE.TIME!
