What Is A Mocktail Exactly?



Mocktails are simply alcohol-free cocktails. They look just like a classic cocktail but without the alcohol.

(Think of the classic Shirley Temple mocktail for kids)

Mocktail recipes are usually made with juices, sodas, infused syrups, and herbs. And since non-alcoholic drinks are very popular now, easy mocktail recipes are everywhere.

There are recipes for sour mocktails, herbal-infused mocktails, and fizzy mocktails with Sprite or other soda usually.

Mocktail recipes are fun, easy to make at home, and even more fun to drink because you don't have to worry about headaches the next day!!

And a simple mocktail drink without alcohol is healthier than a classic cocktail because, well, you are skipping the alcohol!

But keep in mind that some mocktail recipes are healthier than other mocktails depending on which ingredients you put in them. So look for low-sugar mocktails made with little or no added sugar.
